rdfs:comment	Henry Odera Oruka (* 1. Juni 1944 in der Provinz Nyanza, Kenia; † 9. Dezember 1995 in Nairobi) gehört zu den großen Vorreitern der modernen afrikanischen Philosophie und wurde vor allem durch sein Projekt der Sage-Philosophy bekannt. Neben Kwasi Wiredu (Ghana) und Paulin J. Hountondji (Benin) war er es, der neue Wege für die Philosophie in Afrika eröffnete, jenseits einer Gleichsetzung mit traditionellem Denken, Mythologien und Sprichwörtern und damit den Blick frei machte auf das Afrika des 20. Jahrhunderts. (de) Henry Odera Oruka (Nyanza, 1 de junio de 1944-Nairobi, 9 de diciembre de 1995) era un filósofo keniata conocido por su proyecto “Sage Philosophy” ("Filosofía de Sabios") orientado para preservar el conocimiento de los pensadores de distintas comunidades africanas indígenas.

(pt) Henry Odera Oruka, född 1 juni 1944, död 9 december 1995, var en kenyansk filosof. Efter universitetsstudier i Kenya åkte Odera Oruka till Uppsala för studier i filosofi och vetenskap, och därefter till Wayne State University i USA, där han blev doktor i filosofi. Hans avhandling publicerades så småningom i bokform under namnet Punishment and Terrorism in Africa (1976). Från 1970 fram till sin död 1995 undervisade Odera Oruka i filosofi vid Nairobi universitet. När institutionen för filosofi skapades vid detta universitet (genom att ämnet avskildes från institutionen för religion och filosofi) blev han dess förste chef. Odera Orukas död medförde en nedgång för filosofiinstitutionens internationella anseende och disciplinen slogs återigen ihop med religion. 1993 blev han hedersdoktor vid Up (sv)
