Indigenous Gnoseology as Ways of Seeing, Knowing, and Becoming

Abstract

The second chapter has five sections, and still, at the core, the whole part is faith, the Methodology—it is believed that almost like a religion, research is not more incredible than its adopted worldview or lifeworld. This chapter, in effect, the whole book, is surrounded and covered by the Indigenous Gnoseological position. This chapter has four headings delineating the four philosophical streams that guide the entire study. The second heading limns the study's context and then lays the instruments out of this Methodology following a methodological limitation reflection. The first stream is for ourselves. We have been repairing the ‘self' as researchers. Then the authors followed the critical stance of knowledge, traced back from Al-Farabi (872-950), Saadia Gaon (882-942). The third source of understanding generated came from the poststructuralist movement. The final justification is developed from the Decolonial Knowledge in social science.
