This book was released on 2009 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Literary/Political Philosophy of Wole Soyinka is a chronology of the literary and political savvies/activities of Wole Soyinka. His literary and political activities/savvies reached the acme in 1986 when he became the first African in Africa and the first African in Diaspora to be awarded Nobel Prize for literature. It was forty-seven years ago (in 1962) when the Nobel Laureate began his philosophical dialogue with his London landlady in what is known as the first telephone conversation of its kind. From the Yoruba/African perspective, he is a aBringer of Lighta and each chapter of the book is an indelible mark of enlightenment into the two main areas of the Yoruba quintessencealiterature and philosophy. Each chapter enlightens, for any lore that enlightens/widens peopleas horizons and presents food for thought is the beginning of philosophy. Additionally, and what should no less be regarded the prime, the book is a veritable dedication to Wole Soyinka who will be seventy-five in July 2009.

Download or read book Yoruba Philosophy and the Seeds of Enlightenment written by Yemi D. Prince and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2018-01-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For upwards of 25 years, Yemi D. Prince (also known as Yemi D. Ogunyemi) has systematically devoted himself to the education, research and reason of Creative Writing and from Creative Writing to Creative Thinking and from Creative Thinking to Yoruba narrative, cultural, folk philosophy. On realizing that Creative Thinking has become his area of focus and interest, he succeeds in cultivating big ideas, combining them with his life-long experiences in the Humanities, transforming them into new ways of writing, thinking or reasoning. (Some of his big ideas have led to the publication of booklets such as Yoruba Idealism, We Should All Be Philosophers, The Artist-Philosophers in Yoruba land, Codes of Morality and Pursuit of Wisdom.) Thus his big ideas have helped him separate Yoruba folk philosophy from Yoruba autochthonous religion. With his love for big ideas, born out of Creative Thinking and Critical Thinking, he has been able to put a new face on Yoruba Philosophy.

It is a must-read for every heart that lives.

This book was released on 2021-09-09 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely and expansive biography of Wole Soyinka, the Nigerian writer, Nobel laureate, and social activist, shows how the author's early years influence his life's work and how his writing, in turn, informs his political engagement. Three sections spanning his life, major texts, and place in history, connect Soyinka's legacy with global issues beyond the borders of his own country, and indeed beyond the African continent. Covering his encounters with the widespread rise of kleptocratic rule and international corporate corruption, his reflection on the human condition of the North-South divide, and the consequences of postcolonialism, this comprehensive biography locates Wole Soyinka as a global figure whose life and works have made him a subject of conversation in the public sphere, as well as one of Africa's most successful and popular authors. Looking at the different forms of Soyinka's work--plays, novels, and memoirs, among others--this volume argues that Soyinka used writing to inform, mobilize, and sometimes incite civil action, in a decades-long attempt at literary social engineering.

Book excerpt: The text of a new lecture given by Soyinka at the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs. The pamphlet reflects on question such as in Soyinka's words: "Shall we [Nigerians] ever arrive at an understanding of the futility of attempts to smother the expression of popular will...do we, or do we not need a radical shift that restores to us our stolen voices? Does the call for a national conference not ground itself in the illegitimate antecedence of our current democratic pretensions?" Wole Soyinka is as a dramatist, poet, novelist, essayist, political activist and professor, perhaps Africa's most brilliant cultural ambassador and critic, and a notable commentator on world affairs. He is the only black African to have received the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Download or read book Routledge Handbook of African Political Philosophy written by and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of African Political Philosophy showcases and develops the arguments propounded by African philosophers on political problems, bringing together experts from around the world to chart current and future research trends. Africa's recent history has been shaped by the experiences of colonization, anti-colonial struggle, and postcolonial self-rule, and so it is perhaps not surprising that political questions are also central to African philosophy. This exciting new handbook provides insights on the foundations, virtues, vices, controversies, and key topics to be found within African political philosophy, concluding by considering how it connects with other traditions of political philosophy. In doing so, the book provides important fresh perspectives which help us to a richer understanding of the challenges of co-existence in society and governance not just in Africa, but around the world. This book will be an important resource for researchers and students across the fields of Political Philosophy, Political Science, International Relations, and African Studies.
