SCIENTIFIC DOING AND AFRICAN KNOWLEDGE: CLUES AND SKETCHES – A BRIEF DIALOGUE, BUT NECESSARY

Abstract

This article is claiming to be the beginning of a brief, but suggestive and necessary dialogue about African scientific knowledge and its impacts on societies captured by european thinking and way of doing it. They are still self-absorbed, guided by fear, intolerance and white-centered scientific exclusivism, egotic, tanatocentric and pathological narcissistic. The human trafficking that violently affected the African population bequeathed an incalculable evil to the African continent, to people more directly, but also to all fauna and flora, with the destruction from another/new look at the environment and natural resources and which also came to impact in other regions of the world, especially because America has become the epicenter of the spread of African civilizing values, while in Asia, Oceania and Europe, even though continents are affected by this African human trafficking, social silencing and political invisibility are maintained, with rare thefts of scientific and academic advertising, especially in the 1950s in France and Portugal. The dialogue and debate between African and European philosophies and literature set the tone for this process and this path full of curves, paths, alleys, but also alleys, alleys, washers and walls that make us return, because we do not see the path or paths to follow in order to go further in order to reach the cogito and the bantu reason that sustains America, the sixth region of Africa.
