This paper critically analyzes Pan-Africanism as an ideology for the liberation of Africa, with a view to assessing the possibilities of a common African citizenship. This paper argues against the claim that the focus of Pan-Africanism should shift from activism, agitations and struggles to a univocal platform that will define the authentic African identities by crystallizing a common nationality for Africans in the continent and those in the diaspora. This claim is known to be rooted in the ...

ABSTRACT Philosophy, a discipline as old as the human faculty of reason has its thrust on the good life for man. It employs the instrumentality of contemplation, reflection, analysis and criticism to arrive at truth. African philosophy has its orientation in communalism, as contra-distinguished from Western philosophy which is individualistic in outlook.

ABSTRACT One reason for the current revival of interest in Kelsen is the desire for an alternative to the empiricist and natural law approaches that have been the main competitors in English-language philosophy of law. Unlike empiricists, for whom the law is reducible to social facts, Kelsen argues that legal interpretation concerns non-empirical norms. These norms have a necessary structure that restricts legal interpretation. In examining the Hans Kelsen philosophy of law, the s...

Whether resting with the former, or the latter, or making a synthesis of both perspectives, our Western counterparts in the field of ph...

At the time Hegel was born (1770), German thought was and literature was ...
