"A philosophic sage is a person who is wise and also demonstrates the wisdom by critical, second-order thinking about the accepted customs, beliefs and traditions of his people."

Sage Philosophy (1990)

"There are in Africa men and women of great wisdom. The fact that their wisdom is not written down does not make it less philosophical—it makes it harder to recover, and this recovery is the task of sage philosophy."
