We desperately need to study our history and develop a body of knowledge and culture that will get us out of slavery.

Our contemporary culture is no doubt decayed. The greatest evidence on this is in the history and philosophy of mathematics, and in Geology where we speak of Gondwanaland and its parting and continued movement in tectonic plates.

These two sources and other units of evidence available give a clear view of humanity and its diversity, and the validity of all human thought.

We know that the Renaissance movement in Europe was crushed before it flowered, and when we trace the history of art and science ever since we can trace the despair and helplessness that has gripped the human race.

When we investigate contemporary politics, the trends that inform it and the general spirit of human development there's much to be concerned about.

There's a challenge awaiting us especially as Africans- specifically due to heritage- that we should regain our intellectual and cultural spirit and enlighten ourselves, and the world.

I look forward to a time when the middle-class in Kenya for example, will champion for African philosophy out of its pockets. Meetings and works by African thinkers should be encouraged and economically supported; not by the government, but by a body of volunteer citizens.
