Empiricism and African philosophy

African philosophical traditions that ground knowledge in direct experience and communal verification rather than abstract universal principles, challenging the Western assumption that rigorous thinking requires detachment from lived reality. This offers a corrective to empiricism that naively trusts individual observation without acknowledging the observer's position.
