Proverbs And Wise Sayings - By Prof. J.K. Anquandah

A Ghanian Professor of Philosophy Kwesi Wiredu, has defined philosophy quite simply as a guide to life. William Abraham, another Ghanaian Professor has stressed the peculiar character and form of indigenous Ghanaian philosophy. He states that unlike the written scholastic philosophical works of notable world philosophers such as Aristotle, Plato, Aquinas, Augustine, Hobbes, Machiavelli, Avicenna, Rousseau, Lock, Sweitzer, Karl Marx and Bertrand Russel, the traditional philosophy of Ghana was not scholastic, it receded into the village and was related to religion, law and traditional art.
