African Epistemology

Philosophers of the epistemology subcategory who belong to African philosophy, including sage philosophy, Ubuntu and the African thinkers who draw on local traditions and on their own historical situation. This group gathers the thinkers of the atlas whose own cited articles place them in that tradition, so that the subcategory can be browsed by school of thought rather than by date. Membership comes from each philosopher's cited article, through its infobox, page categories or opening sentences.
