When we talk about philosophy in Africa: Is there philosophy in Angola or not?The second questions is to know more about the the enviroment to develop philosophy: Are the Lusophony countries able to develop philosophy and which philosophy?

Paper long abstract:

Concerning the questions above we can say that in fact it makes a difference to speak about philosophy in Africa and philosophy in Angola, or African philosophy or Angolan philosophy. In general, many thinkers make confusions about these two terms. In our point of view, there is a big difference.

And, what about the environment to create philosophies? Our point of view is that in Angola, philosophy is produced under a very difficult situation due to the political situation, economic, social and cultural issues.

But what kind of philosophy is necessary in Angola? A philosophy in defence against colonialism, neo-colonialism, against lusotropicalism or antiracism or racism? Our point of view is that when we talk about philosophy we must talk about the total reality, not about a particular situation, like for example black people. Nowadays the world is developed to a degree, where we need new perspective when we talk about philosophy; so in our opinion the Angolan philosophy is a liberation philosophy.
