Abstract

This paper examines the intellectual habitus of Paulin Hountondji, arguably the most influential post-independence African philosopher, and the political, ethical, and intellectual stakes of his epistemological and rhetorical style. The paper culminates with a critical comparison of Hountondji’s intellectual imagination with that of prominent African philosophers and theorists.
