Souleymane Bachir Diagne wrote at a period when the questions philosophy asked were themselves being renegotiated.
The record lists Souleymane Bachir Diagne as Senegalese philosopher.
Souleymane Bachir Diagne was born at Saint-Louis in 1955. His recorded nationality is Senegal. He studied at Lycée Louis-le-Grand and University of Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne.
Twentieth-century philosophy was marked by war, exile and ideology; many of its central figures wrote in flight or under censorship.
His academic posts were held at Northwestern University, Columbia University and Université Cheikh Anta Diop.
The recorded fields of work are philosophy, logic and african philosophy.
Philosophical influence is measured in the questions a thinker made unavoidable.
The honours record reads: Dagnan-Bouveret Prize (2011) and Édouard Glissant Prize (2011).
That the work was done from Senegal matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Souleymane Bachir Diagne is still working, and the final assessment of the contribution has not been made.
