  • Kocc Barma Fall (1586-1655) est un philosophe sénégalais (Sénégambien ou Cayorien pour être exact. Le Sénégal n'existait pas à l'époque). De son vrai nom Birima Maxuréja Demba Xolé Faal (Birima Makhourédia Demba Kholé Fall), Kocc Barma Fall fut certainement le plus grand penseur et philosophe sénégalais et l'un des plus grands en Afrique. Son imagination fertile, sa vivacité d'esprit et ses maximes métaphoriques font partie de l'univers de la culture wolof. « Suñu màam kocc » (notre grand-père), comme l'appellent affectueusement les Sénégalais, était aussi soucieux de l'injustice des damels (titre du roi du Cayor) envers le peuple. Durant toute sa vie il a eu à affronter certains Damels jugés injustes et tyranniques. (fr)
