Two quotations from Bert Hamminga’s “Epistemology from the African Point of View”:
“In the traditional African view, knowledge is not acquired by labor but ‘given’ by the ancestors. Second, it is immediately social: not ‘I’ know, but ‘we’ know. Thirdly, knowledge is not universal but local tribal: other tribes have different knowledge.” (p. 57)
And:
“From the African point of view, arguments are a sign of weakness, of lack of power and vitality. A good, forceful truth does not need arguments. Arguments are crutches that are needed only by weak, if not invalid opinions. Truth is not argued for but felt as a force coming from the speaking human.” (p. 61)
