Our study has enabled us to grasp Tempels' thinking, i.e. what he actually said, and in so doing, we have come to understand his interest in Bantu culture. He didn't say everything about the Bantu way of life, of course, but the essentials have been written down and made available to a wide audience. It is for this reason that we have entitled our research "Rethinking Tempels' Bantu philosophy today", not to repeat it, but to try to go further by giving other orientations, appreciations and perspectives that would enrich it. Philosophy is a critical science, which is why it is not fixed or dogmatic; it is a spirit that regenerates itself, adapting to the events of its time. The subtitle of this book makes this point even clearer. There is nothing in philosophy that can be declared irrational, for rationality is the essence of philosophy. Where there is philosophy, there is also rationality.
