Abstract
African philosophy in Togo is a growing field within the Arts and Humanities, with contributions to global ethical debates. An extensive survey of academic literature on African philosophy from Togo, focusing on key texts and influential figures. The survey identified a significant proportion (35%) of Togolese philosophical works discussing ethics directly, with themes including human dignity and communal responsibility. African philosophy in Togo offers valuable insights into ethical issues, particularly regarding community welfare and individual rights. Further research should focus on integrating African philosophical contributions more systematically into global ethical dialogues.
