Abstract

African philosophy has enriched global ethical debates by offering unique insights into moral reasoning and cultural values. The research employs qualitative methods, including participant observation, interviews with philosophers and architects, and analysis of philosophical texts and architectural projects in Senegal. Themes such as communal living and environmental stewardship are prominent in Senegalese philosophy, influencing local architecture towards sustainable and community-oriented designs. Senegalese philosophical traditions have significantly shaped the ethical discourse on sustainability and social responsibility in contemporary global architecture. Architectural education programmes should incorporate Senegalese philosophical insights to foster more socially and environmentally conscious design practices.
