Socrates and Orunmila Two Patron Saints of Classical Philosophy

A study in comparative philosophy is based on two basic presuppositions. The first is a definition of philosophy, at least, as a working hypothesis. The second is the existence of the two philosophies being compared. Two books, almost entirely devoted to the conceptual analysis of the question “What is philosophy?” have appeared in publication within the last decade. The first is by Timothy Williamson, in 2007.
