Ethiopia’s Path to a National Philosophy Every nation must ask: How do we think ourselves into the future? For Ethiopia, this is urgent. It’s not about nostalgia or propaganda—it’s about building a framework to interpret our past, critique our present, and shape our future. We already have the raw materials in our intellectual tradition: Zamanawi‑Seletane—Ethiopia’s encounter with modernity. From Zärʾa Yaʿǝqob’s 17th‑century rationalism to modern debates on sovereignty, we can forge a decolonial philosophy. This means reclaiming indigenous thought, moving beyond externally‑driven models, and shaping modernity on our own terms. #Ethiopia#Philosophy#ZamanawiSeletane#Decolonial#Modernity 👇👇👇👇
