Abstract

African philosophy in Togo is a relatively understudied area within the broader field of African studies and global ethical debates. The research employs ethnographic methods to gather data through participant observation, interviews with local philosophers and ethicists, and analysis of relevant literature. A thematic approach is used for the qualitative data analysis. The findings reveal a significant focus on ethics as a central theme in Togolese philosophical discourse, particularly concerning issues such as environmental stewardship and social justice. This study contributes to the understanding of how African philosophy intersects with global ethical debates by highlighting specific themes that resonate within Togolese society. Further research should explore the intersection between traditional African philosophies and contemporary Western philosophical traditions, as well as the influence of globalization on these discussions.
