Question

According to Kambon, what is the African understanding of cosmology. Please provide an example.

Answer 1

According to Kambon, the African cosmology is the African worldview i.e. the system for organizing, constructing, experiencing, and describing the structure of reality, the cosmos that is indigenous to the racial culture representing the ideation and philosophical underpinning of the culture. For example, according to the African religion, sin is always attached to a wrongdoer and ultimately the wrongdoer being a human person. Thus the sin and evil do not and cannot exist in the human experience except as perceived in people. People are evil or sinful, whether or not they are aided by invisible forces.
