Abstract:
What is the value of Yoruba epistemology, theory of knowledge, particularly its philosophy of perception, to humanity in general, and to contemporary Nigeria, in particular? How does Yorùbá epistemology connect with educational theory and practice in Nigeria? This essay recognizes but goes beyond the more general overviews on classical Yoruba education and its contemporary significance represented in works of Yorùbá and Africanist scholars. I demonstrate the significance of Yoruba philosophy of education beyond its cultural context, by projecting its universal and timeless value, foregrounding

AbstractThis article provides an overview of the contributions to philosophy of Nigerian philosopher Sophie Bọ´sẹ`dé Olúwọlé (1935–2018). The first woman to earn a philosophy PhD in Nigeria, Olúwọlé headed the Department of Philosophy at the University of Lagos before retiring to found and run the Centre for African Culture and Development. She devoted her career to studying Yoruba philosophy, translating the ancient Yoruba Ifá canon, which embodies the teachings of Orunmila, a philosopher revered as an Óríṣá in the Ifá pantheon.

Abstract:
Abstract Aesthetics was never a subject or a separate philosophy in the traditional philosophies of black Africa. This is however not a justification to conclude that it is nonexistent. Indeed, aesthetics is a day to day affair among Africans. There are criteria for aesthetic judgment among African societies which vary from one society to the other. The Yorùbá of Southwestern Nigeria are not different. This study sets out to examine how the Yorùbá make their aesthetic judgments and demonstrate their aesthetic philosophy in decorating their orí, which means head among the Yorùbá. The head recei

Abstract:
Projection and promotion of Yoruba cultural ideology and philosophy are motifs in D.A. Ọbasa’s poetry. As an ingenious poet, Obasa adroitly blends the tropes of didacticism and philosophical tenets in his poetry. Existing works on his poetry have explored the thematic preoccupations of his poems, as well as their forms and stylistic features. However, little attention has been paid to the correlation between didacticism and philosophy in his poetry. Tis essay, therefore, identifies the basic tenets of philosophy in the form of ethical, metaphysical, and epistemological aspects of Yoruba philos

The findings reveal that the movie accurately portrays customary public punishment processes in precolonial Yoruba society aimed at communal justice and

This article is an interpretation of John Hick’s philosophy of religious pluralism in the context of traditional Yoruba religion. The ultimate goal of the article is pragmatic, viz. to provide a theoretical basis for peaceful coexistence among different religions in Nigeria. The methods adopted to achieve this objective are hermeneutical/analytical and comparative. Hick’s theory is interpreted and analysed before it is applied to traditional Yoruba theology. His concept of the Transcendent or Ultimate Reality is equated with the Yoruba concept of the Supreme Being or Olodumare. Both Hickean Ul

Beginning from Marx’s understanding of the relationship between philosophy and reality, this Introduction to the special edition of the Yoruba Studies Review explores the inevitable but complex relationship that exists between philosophy and its place. Specifically, it is grounded on the urgency of interrogating Nigeria’s postcolonial realities in the light of Yorùbá philosophical insights that, among other things, enable a rethinking of postcolonial social practices especially as sites of identity, agency, knowledge, objectivity, and even of resistance and power.

Abstract:
This study explores animal names in Femi Osofisan’s “Kolera Kolej” (2001), entrenched in the characters’ animalistic tendencies and nonconformity to Yoruba ethics, values and norms. Despite studies on Osofisan’s theatre and satirical technique, especially the playwright’s commentary on Nigeria’s socio-economic and political crises, there is no compelling research on zoonyms (animal names) anchored on Yoruba epistemology in the work. The study adopted Onomastic semiosis within the framework of Dan Izevbaye’s (1981) sociocultural and literary naming contexts to foreground the Yoruba philosophy ìse ènìyàn n’ìse ẹranko equating animals and human beings through names and characteristics. In the Yoruba culture, animalistic or unethical behaviours contradict the Omoluabi concept of ideal citizenship. Thus, the playwright’s designation of profound Yoruba animal names ridicules African elites and political leaders’ chauvinistic and greedy nature and its consequences on a nation’s socio-politics and economy.

Abstract:
The African developmental challenge in a broad configuration, be it political, cultural, artistic, aesthetic, scientific and economic, has been predicated and interrogated on the basis of conflict between tradition and modernity. However, many researches in this sphere of analysis have paid little attention to the superimposition of the European gaze on Africa which has tried to denigrate the African past in a bid to impose or foist what may be regarded as a ‘dubious modernity’ that tries to severe the contemporary African being-in-the-world from its tradition. In this paper, I try to show that African culture and arts, especially from the trajectory of tradition cannot be separated from modernity. Just as tradition provides the pivot on which modernity is erected, there are also traces of tradition in modern expressions of African arts and culture. In this paper therefore, I defend the view that it is tradition, as can be gleaned in African arts and aesthetics, especially in Yoruba culture of South-Western Nigeria that provides the basis for modern African culture in its utilitarian and moral dimensions. I also do a critique of the philosophical arguments bordering on the tradition-modernist debate in African philosophy and then make a case for African modernity rooted in tradition, the absence of the latter has led to the stunted development of arts and culture in contemporary Africa. The Yoruba artistic and aesthetic weltanschauung (worldview) is then used as the basis for my thesis of re-theorizing indigenous African arts and aesthetics for African development. The methodology of this paper is made up of historical, analytic and reconstructive aspects of philosophy. The paper traces the history of the denigration of African arts, and engages in the analysis of its constitutive forms. Thereafter, an attempt is made to reconstruct these various elements to pave way for a development oriented culture predicated on the synergy of tradition and modernity. It is concluded that the development of Africa is to be largely founded on values which tradition has bequeathed, though from a critical perspective, and which must be reckoned with if there is to be a genuine African renaissance.
