Rekh,
en égyptien ancien (langue négro-africaine classique), veut dire:
Raison, Rationalité, Connaissance; Seba
veut dire: étoile, lumière, enseigner, sagesse. Donc, Rekh’Seba pourrait
se
traduire: la lumière de la Raison ou de la Connaissance, la Sagesse
éclairée ou
rationnelle. Ces deux notions traduisent selon Obenga le concept de
“Philosophie” en Egypte pharaonique. La finalité de la Rekh’Seba est de
former
dans l’homme le Sat/Sai, c-à-d le Savant éclairé, l’amant de la sagesse,
le
philosophe. Une inscription de la 12ème Dynastie donne une belle
description du
Sai:
“He is the one whose heart is informed about these things which would be otherwise ignored, the one who is clear-sighted when he is deep into a problem, the one who is moderate in his action, who penetrates ancient writtings, whose advice is sought to unravel complications, whose is really wise, who instructed his own heart, who stays awake at night as he looks for the right paths, who suparsses what he accomplished yesterday, who is wiser than a sage, who brought himself to wisdom, who asks for advice and sees to it that he is asked advice”.
Inscription d’Antef, 1991-1788 a.C. (cité par T. Obenga, “Egypt: Ancient History of African Philosophy”, in A Companion of African Philosophy (ed. K. Wiredu), Blackwell publishing, 2006, 33).

La
mission que se donnent les membres du Groupe Rekh'Seba Academy, c'est de mettre
en pratique, individuellement et communautairement, cet idéal hautement
philosophique auquel nous invite le sage Antef. Nous nous engageons à le promouvoir comme le paradigme d'une nouvelle conscience et d'une nouvelle rationalité.Nous sommes convaincus qu'à travers la concrétisation de cet Idéal, nous apporterons notre pierre à la construction d'une Nouvelle Afrique et d'un Monde Nouveau. Devant les drames que les logiques de l'irrationnel provoquent dans notre monde contemporain, le Retour à une Rationalité éclairée et sage est une exigence impérieuse et salutaire.
