The Method and Principles of Complementary Reflection in and Beyond African Philosophy
Questions relating to types of philosophical trends within African philosophy can be very decisive for any idea of African philosophy. In this strikingly novel approach to African Philosophy, the author explores a complementary philosophical trend that goes back to those he calls anonymous traditional African philosophers. Based on their thoughts, he articulates a distinctive variant of the principles, method and imperative of complementarity (Ibu anyi danda) around which he builds his system. He anchors his reflection on such ambient concepts as the joy of being (jide k' iji), fragmentation, wholeness, and future reference.
Communicative Rationality and Deliberative Democracy of Jürgen Habermas
This book critically investigates Jurgen Habermas's attempt to develop communicative conception of human rationality. It explores Habermas's fundamental commitment to the practical import and ramifications of communicative rationality in the field of African political philosophy. Within this context, Habermas's ambitious project to reconcile law, justice, and democracy is wide-ranging. This work explores how it is, among other things, that deliberative institutions can become more democratic through, as Dewey put it, "improvements in the methods and conditions of debate, discussion and persuasion".
Competing Interpretations of Husserl's Noema
Edmund Husserl introduces the term «noema» in Ideas I in order to explicate his theory of intentionality. Given the ambiguities in Husserl's own usage of the noema, it is no surprise that the term is the subject of conflicting interpretations by scholars. This book undertakes a critical assessment of two such interpretations: the gestalt psychological interpretation of Aron Gurwitsch and the linguistic philosophical interpretation of the Frege scholars, David Woodruff Smith and Ronald McIntyre. The author argues that the ambiguities in Ideas I can only be resolved by appeal to Husserl's other works, especially his newly published texts and research manuscripts.

Youth Development in Nigeria
Youth development is as a core aspect of human and national progress in Nigeria. The study suggests the development of young people as the means of poverty reduction. It indicates that amidst cultural, ethnic, and religious diversities, and in the light of threats to human life and property, the development of the youth is the way to promoting peace and unity, justice, and security. The book argues on a two-fold contribution: While the Nigerian Church is to intensify efforts in the active participation of lay Christians in politics, the State is to tackle critical areas to ensure a decent standard of living for all.
Leopards of the Magical Dawn
The Igbo people and their unique culture represents a mercurial bridge of time, with potentials of linking the contemporary mind to the mystic realms from whence original knowledge can be profoundly grasped and brought down to earth for practical applications of many vital interests. In this work, Nwafor, a reincarnated Eze Dibia of Ururo-Umunze descent, distills the knowledge, wisdom and experiences of nine life-times of intense spiritual work, culminating in a unique exegesis of Igbo reality and cultural phenomenon.
