You're aware that you're equally, if not more, obsessed with race than the 'racist' you're so eager to BTFO?
Even in a post that's supposed to spread awareness over an allegedly overlooked philosopher all you do is list their ethnicity without even attempting to elaborate on the philosophy itself.

People like you are the reason the accomplishments of so called minorities will always be segregated from real history, since all you find noteworthy about it in the first place is that it wasn't made by whitey.

>Though it is generally taken by most scholars of Ethiopic literature and of Africana Philosophy to an authentic work written by a certain Abyssinian from Aksum in the 17th Century, there have been doubts over his authorship since the early 20th Century. This comes from the fact that the Franciscan Jesuit monk Giusto Da Urbino had not sent the original manuscripts to his patron and collector Antoine D'Abbadie, but 'copies' he had made by his own hand. The other reason that doubts emerged arose from a rumour by a monk Teklehaymanot, who claimed that he had heard other people say that he might written the treatise himself. This and other plot-holes in the story of the acquisition by D'Abbadie and curious exchanges between D'Urbino and his patron, make authentic authorship all the more doubtful.

Quick question, is there anyone on this board who would actually agree with Locke, Hume etc?
This might be a “gotcha” for the popsci crowd who see Descartes and and beyond as when philosophy became relevant (because it started to become subordinate to the hard sciences), but it seems to me that most people on this board care far more about pre-enlightenment philosophy.
