SUMMARY:

The studies of philosopher Sophie Olúwọlé are of great relevance for understanding epistemology and orality in the broad world of contemporary African philosophy. One of his main contributions consists of bringing the Yorùbá oral tradition to philosophy. She analyzes the importance of Ọ̀rúnmìlà as an ancient African philosopher who produced and transmitted diverse knowledge through orality and the Ifá system. Furthermore, she makes a critical analysis of African philosophers such as Hountondji, Mudimbe, Appiah and Wiredu, who, according to her, believed that orality or oral tradition had no possibility of constituting a philosophy. Therefore, this study aims to understand the role of epistemology and orality according to the approach of the philosopher Olúwọlé, as well as the contributions of this philosopher's perspective in the development of African philosophy. My analysis begins with a brief contextualization of Costa Rica, my country of origin, as an explanation of the path that motivated me to choose this research topic and then goes through a mapping of concepts and theories to develop a conceptual delimitation with basis on which it is possible to frame and understand Olúwọlé's approach to epistemology and orality in African philosophy, as well as the contributions of the philosopher's perspective in the development of African philosophy. The research is carried out using a qualitative approach and adopts the literature review methodology. As this is research focused on orality, videos, audiovisual material, recordings, and all types of material that allow direct or indirect contact with oral sources will be used as sources.
