It is by interpreting the symbols of a culture that one can arrive at reflexion, philosophy.

All philosophy is essentially an historical and time bound interpretation of being.

Philosophy is really a manufacturing from raw materials. It is a forging out of thought from the materials of culture.

A reflection on these symbols with a view to making the implicit meanings explicit would constitute African philosophy.
