ethnophilosophy

Ethnophilosophy is the study of indigenous philosophical systems. The implicit concept is that a specific culture can have a philosophy that is not applicable and accessible to all peoples and cultures in the world; however, this concept is disputed by traditional philosophers.Samuel Oluoch Imbo, An Introduction to African Philosophy (1998), pp. 38-39, {{ISBN|0847688410}} It has been criticised as an aspect of ethnology, rather than philosophy which is undertaken by the individual.{{Citation |last=Chimakonam |first=Jonathan O. |title=Curating Some Epistemological Ideas in African Philosophy |date=2021 |work=African Metaphysics, Epistemology and a New Logic: A Decolonial Approach to Philosophy |pages=135–174 |editor-last=Chimakonam |editor-first=Jonathan O. |url=https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-72445-0_7 |access-date=2024-11-29 |place=Cham |publisher=Springer International Publishing |language=en |doi=10.1007/978-3-030-72445-0_7 |isbn=978-3-030-72445-0 |last2=Ogbonnaya |first2=L.
