Abstract

Since the publication of both the Senegalese polymath Cheikh A. Diop and the Congolese philosopher and linguist Théophile Obenga’s works, several scholars around the globe have been gathered on a collective effort to discuss both the participation and contribution of African peoples in the establishment of society as we know it and thereby expand human historiography. Our aim in this paper is to present the definition of philosophy developed by Ancient Egyptian people ever since the fourth millennium B.C.E., reported by Obenga and the Afro-Brazilian philosopher Renato Noguera. Then stretch the debate by pointing out one application of this concept in the work of Ptah-Hotep, 6th Pharaonic Dynasty scribe and Vizir.
