wow no Ethiopian in the comment section..
Hi , I'm ethiopian
Great video!
Fun fact, "Zara Yaqob" means in literal translation..the race of Jacob's, or family of Jacob's in Amharic/ge'ez which was the original language of his writings.
More like "Seed of Yacob"
@@Ramadanm essentially the same thing. A bit dull, my child?
@@Elwood_McCable Seed is the more accurate term. As someone who speaks the language, well the language that descended from it

Thank you
Where do i get the book, preferably in the original language.
I don't know about the original language, but you should check out Claude Sumner's translations and commentary: Ethiopian Philosophy (volumes I II and II), and Classical Ethiopian Philosophy. Some of which are available on Amazon.

Your objections are superficial. It feel as if this is an essay for your homework.
So counterapologetics is a way to serve god, according to Yacob? Interesting.
He is right God is not a racist.

What do you mean by Precolonial Ethiopia? Ethiopia has been never colonized.
Philosophical views of theism is nice but not as stakeful as other topics. There is a main philosopher that is probably the most influencial one, yet you are quite silentful about him. So much that it cannot be done not on purpose. Would be nice to know why. Its been years I know your works but definitely not seen all your vids though.
And which one is that?
@@romanski5811 guess? Given the question the answer should be easy/obvious so i feel like if I explicit it too easily it would somewhat weaken my statement when we all (ought to) know the obvious.

I don't know much about philosophy, let alone philosophers and I don't have an education in philosophy, and that's why I honestly couldn't even guess which philosopher you mean that they're being silent about for some reason.
@@romanski5811 karl marx. Silenced precisely for being influencial (as you guessed). Yet this channel is very silent about him even when "mapping" philosophy etc it create kind of a Voldemort effect.
(Other "obviously influencial" could have been confucius or very other few).
Few month ago this channel broke a bit the spell and talked very slightly about politics and socialism. Still a bit lacking but better than nothing.
@@arallskiant9923
Oh, I see, thanks.
This is the only video I have watched of them so far, so I didn't know that, thx.
Good copy cat joke made me laugh

Be gay, do crime.
I don't want to make assumptions but based on your video all African philosophy are 8 grade philosophy more like teenage philosophy so bad and irrational.
I feel like your just describing your own mind lol
But modern philosophy, even the "beginning" of philosophy, took the ideas of what you call now the immature African philosophers and took full creative credit. It dont matter what you think about us though, we know who we are and we know what we are about. And that is the base of any good philosopher.
