Philosophy’s territory cannot be framed from a single cultural perspective.

Evidence

It is by paying attention to these unique resources and by reacting to this clear prejudice and injustice that scholars can contribute, in good measure, to making philosophy an African discourse. In the manner it is practised and written in technical essays, philosophy, just like science, “has a robustness, a plenitude, a scale” that defies absolute and definitive boundaries (Gieryn 1999, p. 19). Its territory, by virtue of it being the totality of existence, experience and thought, is inexhaustible and cannot be adequately framed for all on the basis of a singular cultural perspective. — Frans Dokman, Beyond Bantu Philosophy_…, 383
