Claude Sumner

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Claude Sumner who describes himself as "a Canadian by Birth, and an Ethiopian by choice"^[1] was the first English-speaking scholar to introduce the thoughts of Zara Yacob to the philosophical world. Sumner undertook the task of comparing Zara Yacob with Descartes on methods of thinking. For Sumner, modern philosophy began in Ethiopia with Zara Yaqob at the same time as in England and France.
