AbstractVain philosophy has a central place in Hobbes's civil philosophy, for his account of its development as well as the causes of this 'false philosophy' (as he also calls it) are both important for understanding his views on the nature of philosophy; further, his doctrine of vain philosophy reveals how philosophy is to be situated in the commonwealth in those institutions that have as their role the dissemination of philosophical knowledge, viz. the schools and universities. In this essay I explain what Hobbes means by vain philosophy, and how it differs from true philosophy. After doing this, I analyze its causes, finding pride as the root cause of this false form of philosophy. Finally, I discuss philosophy as concretely taught in the commonwealth through the schools, and in doing so examine the reasons for Hobbes's concern with this vain philosophy as inimical to his civil philosophy.

Abstract
Experimental philosophy is a new approach to philosophy that incorporates the experimental methodologies of psychology, behavioral economics, and sociology. Experimental philosophers generally maintain that, in addition to traditional philosophical practices, these ways of gathering evidence can be instrumental in shedding light on philosophically important issues. Rather than relying on their own intuitions about specific cases, experimental philosophers perform systematic experiments to determine what intuitions people have about those cases. These intuitions are then used as evidence. In this context, four main approaches to experimental philosophy are introduced, a sample of experimental philosophy's results is offered, and some of the philosophical importance of those results is explained.

Philosophy is a rational enterprise, which is predicated on culture, wonder and human experience. As a result of this, diverse persons over the yearshave participated in this noble enterprise right from its ancient origins in Egypt and Greece. Hence, it has given birth to scholars who have come into the fray to express and defend their perspective. However, one of the most pressing issues in philosophy in recent past is whether the people of Africa have philosophy i.e., whether they can express themselves like their other counterparts, in other words, is there an African philosophy? This paper in appraising this issue employed the critical analytic method in an attempt to conceptualize philosophy and then African philosophy. From this conceptualization of philosophy, it became palpable that as Africans have culture and experience which are materials for philosophy there is African philosophy; because, Africans like other rational being reflect, express and share their experiences about their world, which can and does give birth to their own philosophy.Keywords: Philosophy, African, African Philosophy, Western Philosophy, Human Experience
