799The Problem of Substance in MetaphysicsAfrican Research Review 1 (1): 24-29. 2012.The concept of substance varies with various philosophers, depending on the school of thought to which they belong. While the materialists would develop a materialistic concept of substance, the idealist would definitely develop a spiritual or idealistic concept of substance. For the thorough going empiricist, since substance is not something that can be seen or touched, one would expect that he would deny the existence of such a thing. The researcher in this piece studies the concept of substan…Read more

418THE FUNCTIONALITY OF BEING IN PANTALEON’S OPERATIVE METAPHYSICS VIS-A-VIS THE NIGER DELTA CONCFLICTAfrican Research Review 6 (1): 212-222. 2012.The area of operative metaphysics speaks of a metaphysical system that does not just exist as an ivory tower apart from people’s experience, but one that could be applied to a concrete historical circumstance. This piece studies the concept of being as understood by Pantaleon Iroegbu, as being qua belongingness. The concept of being qua belongingness lies within the parameters of operative metaphysics. Pantaleon’s concept of being is analysed alongside the situation of crisis in the Niger Delta …Read more

248Chi: In search for an explanatory principle for the interelatedness of Igwebuike PhilosophyIgwebuike: An African Journal of Arts and Humanities 8 (6): 21-31. 2020.This work is a search for the basis of intersubjectivity in the African worldview conceptualized in Igwebuike philosophy. This piece found the basis of intersubjectivity of the African reality in Chi, which carries a variety of meanings among the Igbo - Afri can people. However, the nuance of Chi that is employed here is that which understands it as the divinity in every human person or the spark of the divine in created things. It understands Chi as…Read more

213Igwebuike Philosophy and the Issue of National DevelopmentIgwebuike: An African Journal of Arts and Humanities 6 (3): 16-50. 2017.Right from traditional African philosophy, down to its modern and contemporary era, there has been a strong link between African philos ophy and language, underlined by the principle of complementarity. This is not disconnec ted with Placid Tempels’ employment of force to explain being, and Alexis Kagame’s NTU, as the underlying principle of reality. Pantaleon Iroegbu explained being as belon gingness. In the thoughts of Innocent Asouzu, Ibuanyidanda, was used to explain the compl ementar…Read more

196Igwebuike and Language: In search of an ontological toolbox for Igbo-African PhilosophyIgwebuike: An African Journal of Arts and Humanities 8 (6): 53-65. 2020.Human beings are by nature enshrined in an inescapable world - hood web called language. As a symbolic construction and human agenda setting in semantic space, language ensures the application of social meaning, control, culture and social knowledge. As a re sult of the place that language occupies in the integration, interpretation and internalization of convention for the state of affairs of sociality, it is no…Read more

163Igwebuike Philosophy of Science and TechnologyAMAMIHE Journal of Applied Philosophy 8 (18): 1-15. 2020.Contrary to the opinion of some scholars which holds that science is independent of particular worldviews in its presuppositions and method, this paper argues that although the presuppositions of science have no worldview content, science may provide evidence that has a bearing on a certain worldview . This dependence on a worldview is what gives science some level of political autonomy ; that is, some kind of scientific citizenship in philosophy that gives cred…Read more
