Extractions: 3.1 African Philosophy and Its Ethiopian Sources This paper would like to be a synthesis, within a synthesis, within a synthesis. First synthesis: African Philosophy, and within this continent-wide perspective, a second synthesis: the history of Ethiopian Philosophy written in Ge'ez, and together with this second synthesis, the oral expression of wisdom literature including mainly proverbs, songs and folktales - and its philosophical, mostly structural analysis, thus achieving a third synthesis: Ethiopian oral and written sapient and philosophical literature. Although the project sounds grandiose, it is fraught with problems. Is there such thing as African Philosophy? If so, who is or was this African philosopher? How do we know what he thought if it was expressed orally? What are its sources? Should we speak of African Philosophy or of African Philosophies? Ethiopian Philosophy written in Ge'ez - to what extent is it philosophy? What is its relation with religion, or even with theology? In what sense is it philosophy? What are its sources? Oral wisdom literature expressed in proverbs, songs and folktales - this is not considered as philosophy in the West. Why should it be in Africa, in Ethiopia? How can African philosophy be African if it cuts its roots? Are the roots of European, Greek philosophy European or African, Egyptian?
