Oluwole rejected the claim, which she found in Hountondji, that philosophy requires writing, and read the oral Ifá corpus as philosophical texts (Philosophy and Oral Tradition). S. B. Oluwole, Philosophy and Oral Tradition (Lagos: Ark Publications; publication year given variously); Socrates and Ọ̀rúnmìlà: Two Patron Saints of Classical Philosophy (2014); P.

比较口传哲学的两位古典圣哲——希腊的与约鲁巴的。
立场
Oluwole argued that Africa did not lack philosophy merely because its classical thought was passed down orally. The Ifá corpus of the Yoruba, a vast body of verses used in divination, contains in her reading genuine reflections on knowledge, ethics, gender and society. In her late book she compared Socrates, who also wrote nothing, with Orunmila, the sage of the Ifá tradition, and presented both as founding figures of classical philosophy. She criticized both the Western dismissal of African thought and the uncritical romanticizing of tradition. Her work strengthened the place of oral sources and of women in African philosophy.
