Book Synopsis Philosophy and National Development in Nigeria by : Adeshina Afolayan
Download or read book Philosophy and National Development in Nigeria written by Adeshina Afolayan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it imply for Nigerian philosophers to conscientiously and engagingly reflect on Nigeria as a place of philosophy and as a dynamic plural context of socioeconomic, political, cultural and ethnic problems? Any answer to this question automatically constitutes the opening salvo to the reflection on the evolution of a Nigerian tradition of philosophy and philosophizing. This book represents such an initial salvo in in its attempt to hammer out the conditions for the possibility of a Nigerian tradition of philosophy by placing that endeavor in between the triadic challenges of the Nigerian political economy, the African philosophical theorizing and the global epistemological hegemony. How do these three dynamics condition the evolution and functional relevance of the philosophical enterprise in Nigeria? How have Nigerian philosophers responded to them? What is Nigerian philosophy? How can there be a "Nigerian" philosophy when there are no Nigerians? This book is also an attempt to contribute to the trajectory of philosophy education in Nigeria within the context of a postcolonial educational system and university dynamics that stultifies the role of the intellectuals in development. From Plato to Wiredu, from Bodunrin to Bourdieu, and from Heidegger and Nietzsche to Fanon, Mignolo and Santos, the book traces a trajectory of dynamics rethinking of existing paradigms and epistemological assumptions that could enable a robust evolution of a Nigerian tradition of philosophy that possesses sufficient clout to confront its historicity and its place in Nigeria’s development impasse.

Book Synopsis Bibliography of Nigeria by : Nduntuei O. Ita
Download or read book Bibliography of Nigeria written by Nduntuei O. Ita and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1971, this major bibliography devoted to Africa’s most populous country – Nigeria – is therefore a timely contribution which must be welcomed by all. The Bibliography of Nigeria contains over 5,400 entries in archaeology, all branches of anthropology, linguistic and relevant historical and sociological studies. Many of the entries carry indicative or informative annotations which have greatly enhanced the usefulness of the work. The history and culture of Africa constitutes a rich area of study and research which is attracting an ever-increasing number of scholars the world over. The new impetus which African studies is receiving in the major centre of learning today has added urgency to the long-neglected problem of bibliographical control of the vast literature. The dearth of bibliographies in the field of African studies has been a main source of frustration to all those working in this area. The book is divided into two parts: part one deals with Nigeria as a whole, and lists general works or those concerned with several regions or several ethnic groups. Part two is devoted to the various ethnic groups. An analytical table of contents, a comprehensive ethnic index, an author index and an index of Islamic studies, together with generous cross-referencing, ensure ready and easy location of individual entries.

Book Synopsis Rethinking Security in Nigeria by : Dapo Adelugba
Download or read book Rethinking Security in Nigeria written by Dapo Adelugba and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2007-05-15 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rethinking Security in Nigeria adopts an alternate conceptual and methodological framework for rethinking national security in Nigeria by using the humanities' multidisciplinary perspective against the backdrop of the hitherto restrictive analysis of the nature of national security. By expounding the largely unexplored cosmological, conceptual, ethical and aesthetic dimensions as key contributors to national survival and social integration, the volume argues systematically for a basic redefinition of the meanings of security, the value of life, government action and social re-engineering in order to create a new system of social order an integration. The authors attempt to extend the boundaries of previous theorizing on security by identifying alternate ethical and aesthetic approaches to national reconciliation and human development in present-day Nigeria, which faces major security challenges requiring the clarification of the basis for developing a just and harmonious society. The study is a contribution to the quest for defining the vital socio-cultural norms and doctrinal imperatives needed for responsible cooperative human action. It examines the roles of dominant works of philosophy, literature, plays and performances in the creation of a basis for political stability and social reconciliation in the society. It extends the boundaries of previous aesthetic studies and redefines the roles of ethics and aesthetics as crucial contributors to security, human development and world civilisation.

Book Synopsis Handbook of Research on the Impact of Culture in Conflict Prevention and Peacebuilding by : Essien, Essien
Download or read book Handbook of Research on the Impact of Culture in Conflict Prevention and Peacebuilding written by Essien, Essien and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2020-03-20 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contemporary conflict scenarios are beyond the reach of standardized approaches to conflict resolution. Given the curious datum that culture is implicated in nearly every conflict in the world, culture can also be an important aspect of efforts to transform destructive conflicts into more constructive social processes. Yet, what culture is and how culture matters in conflict scenarios is contested and regrettably unexplored. The Handbook of Research on the Impact of Culture in Conflict Prevention and Peacebuilding is a critical publication that examines cultural differences in conflict resolution based on various aspects of culture such as morals, traditions, and laws. Highlighting a wide range of topics such as criminal justice, politics, and technological development, this book is essential for educators, social scientists, sociologists, political leaders, government officials, academicians, conflict resolution practitioners, world peace organizations, researchers, and students.

Book Synopsis Giant in the Sun by : James Ohwofasa Akpeninor
Download or read book Giant in the Sun written by James Ohwofasa Akpeninor and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-08-28 with total page 813 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new vocabulary is increasingly gaining prominence in Nigeria’s political lexicon. It is the nine-letter word – REVOLUTION. Hardly can any political event hold in the country today without the word “revolution” sneaking into direct discourse. Expectedly, discussants always disagree on this vexatious political jargon that while some segments of outlook would fall for it and actually want it bloody, others prefer a moderated approach, just as others caution against it in entirety – whether bloody or mild. The reality is that one does not need a soothsayer or contemporary political psychotherapist to recognize that God indeed has blessed Nigeria to be a great nation with ‘almost everything’ on earth. What then could be the malady militating against the structured development of this ‘Great Nation’ with ‘Great People’? Under a sane ambiance the membership of Nigeria in some major International organizations like the premier United Nations (UN) and her organs—The World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF) et cetera; The ECOWAS sub-region, the Africa Union and the Commonwealth of nations, to mention but a few, is that Nigeria is very well positioned to be a primus inter pares in world affairs. Unfortunately, the state of affairs has not pointed in this direction. Domestically, the country is stagnate, decayed and trapped in corruption and at present utterly different from the Nigeria we used to know as productive, thriving nation with robust infrastructure that was well-organized with a vibrant economy. The “Giant of Africa” that a short while ago celebrated her fiftieth year independence—as a matter of fact, is a society now completely the reverse of the one symbolized by former patriotic heroes and nationalist leaders—the likes of the Great Zik of Africa (of blessed memory), with his compatriots who deftly wrestled independence from British colonialism. Giant in the Sun Echoes of Looming Revolution evokes the mêlée of a people as portrayed by a multitalented Author, encapsulating his qualms for a Great Country that may never be, as Revolution looms in Nigeria: Do not touch her! Please do not ruin her! Nigeria our beloved country!
