- Title
Rationalité et développement en Afrique noire.
- Authors
KACOU OI KACOU, Vincent Davy
- Abstract
The beginning and the end of the development of Africa is the African himself/herself. Is the African aware of his own existence? Subsaharan Africa is poorly developed for the reason that the African refuses to think on himself/herself. Thinking on oneself intends to go very deep inside oneself. This means that development requires self-deployment, that is to say, a movement of oneself in oneself. This movement of oneself in oneself is rationality. Rationality is the soul of all viable development. Development implies the triumph of reason over the senses, over sensitivity. So there is no development without rationalization. It is not enough to have wealth and people to be in the way of development, mostly when people need to have the spirit of development. Clearly, development requires both an epistemological and an ideological rupture.
