he book is a sum, on the one hand, because it brings together an impressive number of texts revealing Pharaonic philosophy - and what a philosophy! -, and on the other hand, because it restores, in these decisive texts, produced in a few centuries, the foundation of the African intellectual heritage. This book is therefore also a source, the one from which contemporary African philosophy can come to drink and regenerate. Indeed, the work of scholarship, the work responds to an ambitious project: to restore the reflective tradition of Africa, in time and space. It thus belongs to the category of founding texts, which it supports and extends, such as the Cahier d'un retour au pays natal, The Bantu-rwanese philosophy of being, Negro nations and culture, The ansciencism. . .
