Epistemo-ethics Philosophy and Development in postcolonial Africa

This study raises the following question: Insofar as since its formal independence Africa has been working on its development drawing inspiration from the theoretical and political model of the West would it benefit for its effective development to continue to draw inspiration from the Western model when the latter is itself in crisis? The investigation carried out using the phenomeno-prospectivist method establishes that the philosophical reflection carried out since 1960 on the basis of imported models has led political action for the Development of post-colonial Africa into a budgetary impasse whose exit requires conversely an innovative theoretical gesture which taking into account the oral character of African cultural heritage in general to interrogate and document the results of re-evaluation studies of endogenous African knowledge contained in proverbs tales myths and legends from the pre-colonial period in order to compare the results of this historical cognitive diagnosis covering the pre-colonial colonial and post-colonial periods with the endo-exogenous expectations and ambitions of present-day populations.
