Abstract
This study explores how post-colonial African philosophy has influenced discourse in Egypt, a country with significant historical and cultural ties to Africa. A qualitative content analysis approach was employed, focusing on recent publications in Egyptian journals related to African studies. The study also involved semi-structured interviews with scholars to gain deeper insights into current academic trends. Themes such as decolonization and cultural reclamation were found to be prominent across the analysed works, indicating a growing interest in these topics within the Egyptian intellectual community. The research highlights how Egypt's engagement with post-colonial African philosophy reflects broader global conversations about identity and heritage. Future studies could benefit from longitudinal analysis of this evolving discourse. Further empirical research should consider cross-cultural comparisons to better understand the impact of Egyptian perspectives on international discussions around post-colonial theory.
