Savoirs, cultures et construction de l’universel chez Paulin Hountondji et Bado Ndoye

Abstract

The critique of knowledge and cultures in PJ Hountondji and B Ndoye is all the more a cerbic as the secondarity of the subject in relation to the surrounding world, has its cultural substructure, constitutes a reality. The fact remains that such a criticism is motivated above all by the demand for reinstitution of the universal. In other words, these two philosophers call for the secularization and dynamism of endogenous knowledge as well as the development of african cultures to make them contribute considerably to the constitution of a true universal.
