Synopsis "Kwasi Wiredu: Thoughts"

Kwasi Wiredu (1931 - 2022). He was a Ghanaian philosopher. Often called the greatest African philosopher of his generation, his works, particularly the rallying call for conceptual decolonization of African thought, have greatly contributed to the development of postcolonial African philosophy. One of Wiredu's concerns when defining "African Philosophy" was the cognizance of the precolonial, colonial and postcolonial African thoughts that have to be linked. While recognising the central roles precolonial African cultures have towards the development of African philosophy, Wiredu maintains that African folk-beliefs and world views must be treated as heritages for the practice of philosophising. He, however, argues that the African heritages, both cultural and colonial, must be decolonised.
