Abstract
This work explores the nature and origins of Haitian epistemology, the lens through which Haitians consciously and unconsciously come to know, interpret, and make sense of the known and unknown world around them, and its aesthetics. The article posits that Haitian epistemology, Haitian/Vilokan Idealism, is a transcendental idealist and realist philosophy/epistemology that developed out of the demystification and ever-increasing rationalization of the African (spiritual) worldview (Vilokan/Vodou) of the majority of the inhabitants of the island, and its aesthetics is grounded in the distinction between the noumenal world of Vilokan and the phenomenal one of lived-experience and their dialectical interaction.
