AN APPRAISAL OF THE CHALLENGES CONFRONTING THE NATURE OF AFRICAN PHILOSOPHY

Abstract

The place of adequate definition on any subject of discussion cannot be overemphasized. A proper definition of an idea is a true path way to better understanding and appreciation of its components, from the main topic to the minutest parts. Hence, a good definition of an academic subject tele-guides those who have interest in the subject to know what the subject holds, its concerns and what distinguishes it from other related subjects. A definition that involves all these concerns will help participants in the discussion at stake to avoid misconceptions and misgivings in one sense and overcome ambiguities and equivocations in another sense.
