Epistemological philosophy has gone in hand with all Philosophy throughout history. A group of philosophers called the Pre-Socratics our are earliest known philosophical thinkers, and epistemology goes hand in hand with ontology and metaphysics throughout their writings. The first real push toward Epistemological study in its own right can be associated with the skeptics like Phyrro, and with Plato and the sophists, all of these groups coming to widely different conclusions. Again epistemology is closely linked to metaphysics throughout these thinkers. In all truth, it is impossible to identify one scholar as a founder of epistemological thought.


What is the epistemological problem of African traditional world view?

The epistemological problem of the African world view is only a problem to people who are not Africans themselves. To say that there is a problem is to be unAfrican. What the Africans believe as knowledge is not disputed by Africans because they are of the same epistemology. What the question presupposes is that African knowledge differ from knowledge of other races. Africans know what they know as culture inherited from generation to generation. There is no nation on earth which has not received anything from its ancestors. The fact that Africans continue to live by the knowledge inherited from past generations is proof that their knowledge has no problem. If it had a problem the African race would be extinct.
