The Transformation of Philosophical Discourse in Post-Colonial Ghana: An Evolutionary Perspective
Abstract
The post-colonial era in Ghana has seen significant changes in philosophical discourse, influenced by both traditional and modern intellectual currents. The study employs a qualitative approach to analyse primary texts and secondary literature from key philosophical thinkers of the period. A notable theme emerging from the analysis is the increasing emphasis on reconciling traditional values with modern societal challenges, evident in approximately 70% of analysed works. The findings suggest a gradual shift towards a more inclusive and pragmatic approach to philosophy that integrates indigenous wisdom with global intellectual trends. Further research should explore the impact of digital media on contemporary philosophical discussions in Ghana, particularly among younger generations.
