For father Tempels, there is a "vitale force" within, and which lies in the realm of myth or mystery. This way of thinking resonates for Africans.

Professor Ruch suggests that modern Africans needn't assume that they must choose between a belief in the myth of Father Tempels, or the rationalism of western philosophy. He advocates a third way, bringing the myth into rationalism, or visa versa.

What they agree on is that, for Africans, there is a longing for something beyond the rationalism of western philosophy.
