An autobiographical interview of one of Africa’s living most profound and versatile philosophers, Valentin Yves Mudimbe. Born in 1941 in Likasi, in the Kasai region of today’s Democratic Republic of Congo, Mudimbe’s early education destines him for Benedictine priesthood. He does not eventually join priesthood, but his Benedictine background prepares him for a disciplined and focused lifestyle that contributes immensely to his intellectual acumen. Even though faithful to some of his Benedictine principles and lifestyle, Mudimbe is an eclectic scholar that sails above fixations of any kind. His earnest quest for knowledge will enable him straddle across different modes of belief, disciplinary boundaries, languages, cultures, or intellectual currents to which his oeuvre could be aligned. A philosopher and philologist by training, his contributions to history, literature, anthropology and even a field like psychiatry need not be overemphasized. More so, Mudimbe is versed in at least four African languages, key Romance and Germanic languages and classic languages like Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic and Latin.
