Walda Heywat

Walda Heywat (Amharic: ወልደ ሕይወት; 1633–1710), also called Mitku, was an Ethiopian philosopher. He was the beloved disciple of Zara Yacob, who wrote a well regarded work on the nature of truth and reason. Heywat took his mentor’s work and expanded upon it, addressing issues encountered by Ethiopians of that time.
