Abstract

Post-colonial Libya has seen a resurgence of interest in African philosophy as scholars explore the continent's cultural and intellectual heritage. The analysis draws on secondary sources such as scholarly articles, books, and government publications to understand trends in post-colonial African philosophy in Libya. There is a notable emphasis on reconciling traditional African philosophies with modern political ideologies, particularly focusing on themes of governance, community, and individual rights. This study highlights the importance of integrating indigenous philosophical perspectives into contemporary Libyan discourse to foster national unity and social cohesion. Policy makers should encourage educational institutions to incorporate more traditional African philosophies in their curricula to promote cultural understanding and national identity.
