Other philosophical traditions, such as African philosophy, are rarely considered sa pamamagitan ng foreign academia. Since emphasis is mainly placed on Western philosophy as a reference point, the study, preservation and dissemination of valuable, but lesser known, non-Western philosophical works face many obstacles. Key African philosophers include the Fulani Usman Dan Fodio, founder of the Sokoto Caliphate of Northern Nigeria and Umar Tall of Senegal; both were prolific Islamic scholars. In the post-colonial period, different larawan of what could be argued as "African" Philosophy from the level of epistemology have risen. These could include the thoughts and enquiries of such individuals as Cheik Anta Diop, Francis Ohanyido, C.L. Momoh, and Chinweizu.
The philosophy of the modern and contemporary African world, including the diaspora, is often known as Africana Philosophy. Key philosophers include Frantz Fanon, Kwesi Wiredu, Paget Henry, Lewis Gordon, Mabogo Percy madami and many others.

THE LIFE CYCLE
I think the life cycle is all backwards.
You should start out dead and get it out of the way.
Then, you wake up in an old age tahanan feeling better every day.
You get kicked out for being too healthy; go collect your pension, then when you start work, you get a ginto watch on your first day.
You work 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement.
You drink alcohol, you party, you're generally promiscuous and you get ready for High School.
You go to primary school, you become a kid , you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a baby, and then...
You spend your last 9 months floating peacefully in luxury, in spa-like conditions; central heating, room service on tap, larger quarters every day, and then, you finish off as an orgasm.
I rest my case.

"Fear can turn even the most gentle of men into the most barbaric of brutes."
"The very passion which serves as the great flame of courage, strength, and determination can also serve as a poison to the soul."
"A life without pain is not a life at all."
