The Society (ndônga, in kikongo language) is responsible for the education of the individual (muntu), while the symbolic consciousness that prioritizes the freedom of muntu is inalienable due to the fact that the muntu is included, from early childhood, in “thinking society”. Face to the technological challenges of the life, where Philosophy is diminished as well, we ask to ourselves: how Africa can resist the new configurations of the 21st century? This article tries to answer in this way: the African toungue and culture (fields of alienation), as well, seem to be one of several way, if associate to the African Philosophy.
