A thematic analysis of literature from Ethiopian philosophers on post-colonial philosophy, focusing on historical documents and academic publications. Themes such as pan-Africanism, existentialism, and social justice have been prominent in philosophical discussions since independence, with a significant increase in the proportion of works published after . The analysis reveals a dynamic interplay between traditional and modern philosophical influences, reflecting broader socio-political changes in Ethiopia. Further research could explore the impact of digital media on contemporary Ethiopian philosophy and its global influence.
