African philosophy can be considered the set of values, categories, and assumptions that is implicit in the language, practices, and beliefs of African cultures. One of the major expressions of philosophy as ethnology is Negritude, the principal exponent of which was Leopold Senghor. Senghor argued that Africans have a distinctive approach to reality that is based on emotion rather than logic, an approach that encourages participation rather than analysis, and has its primary manifestation in the arts rather than in the sciences.
