FEYERABEND’S PHILOSOPHY OF ANARCHISM, IM- PLICATION FOR AFRICA’S DEVELOPMENT: A PHILOSOPHICAL APPRAISAL

Resumen

In this article, Feyerabend’s philosophy of Anarchism, Implications for Africa’s Development: A philosophical appraisal, I argue that Africa is the only continent with the lowest development rate in the whole world. The real challenge and problem of this slow and low paste of development can be traced to a myriad of factors ranging from bad leadership, the plight of African mentality, adulation of whatever is brandished white and gross aversion to whatever is labeled black to a dysfunctional system of governance. What the African needs most now is not regret of her past, blame his woes on anyone, but to gradually and meticulously wake up to the task of developing herself. Self-blame or self-pity will not solve any problem for the African. Using the rational-philosophical approach, I examine, this problem of low rate of development against Paul Feyerabend’s philosophy of anarchism of method in the context of ‘anything goes’ in terms of method as a philosophical framework to address this developmental challenge and bad governance. I am of the opinion that Africans are the only ones to solve their own problems. They must do that using their own methods and technologies.
