Abstract
This article explores the theoretical evolution of African philosophy in the post-colonial era within Tanzanian academic discourse. No empirical data will be presented; instead, this article employs a critical discourse analysis to review existing literature and theoretical works on African philosophy in Tanzania. The analysis aims to identify recurring themes and methodological approaches within post-colonial studies of African philosophy. The theoretical evolution in Tanzanian African philosophy reveals a complex interplay between traditional philosophical thought and contemporary post-colonial critiques. This analysis highlights the ongoing need for indigenous philosophies to inform academic discourse in Tanzania. Future research should focus on developing robust theoretical frameworks that can better accommodate both traditional and modern philosophical perspectives, ensuring they are relevant to Tanzanian contexts.
