THE FUTURE OF AFRICAN SCIENCE IN A GLOBAL CONTEXT: A PHILOSOPHICAL ANALYSIS

Julius Ijekeye, PhD
Abstract

The meeting point of African science and its impact on the global future raises profound philosophical inquiries due to Africa's rich scientific traditions. Research indicates that akin to Western perceptions, African perspectives also view science as the systematic examination of the physical and natural world through observation, experimentation, and empirical validation of theories. This paper delves into the philosophical foundations governing the intricate relationship between African scientific advancements and their ramifications on the global stage. It elucidates how themes such as knowledge generation, cultural viewpoints, ethical deliberations, and the transformative potential of African scientific insights intersect with prevailing global paradigms, influencing the collective course of humanity. Employing critical analysis, this study navigates through these themes to shed light on the profound implications of African science for the future of the world.
