Bekele Gutema, Addis Ababa University. Sage philosophy is one of the important trends of African philosophy developed by Henry Odera Oruka. It is a philosophy practiced by rural and largely illiterate African sages (wise persons). It has made a significant contribution in identifying oral sources of philosophy. It has attracted a number of scholars owing to the fact that it could be a rich source of African philosophy that could also have wider implications for a philosophy that could be done in an intercultural manner. In this paper I will try to explore the nature and essence of sage philosophy. Please register.
