Abstract
Jean Pierre Bekolo’s documentary film consists of an autobiographical interview of one of Africa’s most profound and versatile living 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. Even though he does not eventually join the priesthood, his Benedictine education prepares him for a disciplined and rigorous lifestyle that contributes immensely to his intellectual mission. He is an eclectic scholar who attempts to sail above fixations of any kind. His earnest quest for knowledge enables him to straddle different belief systems, disciplinary boundaries, languages, cultures and intellectual currents. A philosopher and philologist by training, his contributions to history, literature, anthropology and psychiatry need not be overemphasized. More so, he is versed in at least four African languages, key Romance and Germanic languages and classic languages like Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic and Latin.
