I wouldn't mind a philosophy forum as long as the topics are geared towards African philosophy. We would also have to make sure that the topics don't get too far into religion and actually tap into other issues like the self, African epistemology, the concept of truth...this could be fun. Oh, we could also talk about trends in African philosophy and have debates on whether ethnophilosophy is a vaild philosophy or not. And if African philosophy should be based more on nationalistic-ideological philosophy, as established by Fanon, Nkrumah and the like, or philosophic sagacity in which we look at the works of sages and griots.

If this is the direction you plan to gear this forum towards then count me in. If not, then forget it. I've had enough of Western and Eastern philosophy. I'm not saying that we can't talk about them in the forum but I would want the main focus to be on our own philosophy.
