Tempels’s Scholastic lacuna fueled long division between philosophies

Evidence

Tempels refers, somewhat, to Scholastic philosophy three times but misses the opportunity to make a strong connection between the Bantu and Western vitalistic and epistemological concepts. This lacuna had a long influence on the status of African intellectualism and contributed to a conflict of philosophies. — Frans Dokman, Beyond Bantu Philosophy_…, 1033

Categorization

• QUESTION: Curious exactly which three Scholastic passages Dokman means and how vitalism maps between them and Bantu thought.
