Abstract

Africa may still appeal to many with its exotism; as continent caught up in far-reaching mutations it may capture the interest of

religious sociologists, but over and above these attractions it poses today the question of becoming. Africa was formerly world

made for man where everything was integrated in meaningful system: nothing was left out. Colonisation and its consequent

traumatisms, the extensions of Islam and Christianity into the once closed field of the agrarian religions, the arrival of Education

and Knowledge unfamiliar to the Ancients, all these features radically upset the ancient order at its base and revealed the

horizons of an inordinate world.

princeless lesson of an age which now belongs to the past, namely the need for man to root himself in land, a memory; the

assurance that man is more than his work and what he produces; the profound certainty that the secret law of ontological balance

is his "porosity" to the world.
