Abstract

Post-colonial Senegal has seen a shift in philosophical discourse influenced by global intellectual currents and local cultural dynamics. A qualitative approach involving archival research and interviews with philosophers from Senegal is employed to explore the evolution of philosophical thought. Themes such as environmental ethics and gender studies have emerged prominently in recent Senegalese philosophy, reflecting a blend of traditional values and modern critiques. The analysis reveals a nuanced synthesis where local philosophies are reinvigorated through dialogues with global intellectual movements. Further interdisciplinary research is recommended to integrate philosophical insights into policy-making for sustainable development in Senegal.
