In African thinking the given world resists theorizing and debate

Evidence

With regards to the reality of the world, in the African mind it presents itself as a factor that cannot be discussed, so much so that it is difficult to hold an argument on it. The world, as it is, is not an object of demonstration. Whilst conversing about the world, man does not theorise on the world but finds himself welcomed by it. The world begins to become an object of discussion when conceptions on the origins, the creation and the reality of other worlds start to be taken into consideration (the world of the ancestors, the supranatural world, the world of life). — Frans Dokman, Beyond Bantu Philosophy_…, 307
