African philosophy is both universal inquiry and continentally rooted cultural reflection

Evidence

As members of the worldwide community of philosophical thinkers, Africans are contributing to the universal reflection of reality. As a continentally directed discipline, African philosophy is directly connected to the reality of African cultures and religions. Characteristic themes are the significance of communities, decolonization, Africanization and future visions. — Frans Dokman, Beyond Bantu Philosophy_…, 798
