Eboussi Boulaga critiques Western ontotheology, arguing that its claims of absolute truth and universality mask the colonial legacy of Christianity. He posits that such discourse, whether scientific or religious, fosters violence and division by presenting itself as a definitive knowledge-power. Emphasizing the unknowability of God due to human limitations, Boulaga rejects the notion of an absolute religion, suggesting that understanding God requires a subjective approach. Ultimately, he links the question of God to the deeper inquiry into humanity itself.
