ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on the epistemic marginalization of women in the African place. In a world where the epistemic perspective of the opposite sex is trivialized, epistemic lop-sidedness is inevitable. The concerns of women generally are still very much neglected by governments, corporate bodies, academics and philosophers in sub-Saharan Africa. The entrenched, traditional world-views which privilege men over women make it difficult for the modern day challenges posed by the neglect of women's epistemic perspective to become obvious. It sketches a brief history of African philosophy that aligns with the understanding of the discipline. The chapter shows that women have been epistemologically marginalized and are still being marginalized in and by African philosophy and African philosophers. It proposes a culture of conversation following the principles of conversational philosophy as a ground leveller that can balance the knowledge-controlling power between men and women in African philosophy.
