Yoruba Idealism questions, debates, and redefines the assumed
epistemology in Yoruba idealism. It is a work in two parts. The
first is built around a study of divinity-philosopher Orunmila, the
mentalist, the father of Yoruba idealism, and the cultivator of
Ifa-Ife Divination. This project, the first of its kind, sheds new
light on the nature of Yoruba culture. The author's central
argument is that the Yoruba people are idealists by nature.
Combining indigenous knowledge with the wisdom of Orunmila, the
author defines Yoruba idealism as the ideal purpose of life, the
search for the meaning of life, and the yearning for the best in
life. The second part, The Mystic Land: Path to Initiation and
Idealism, features Kinedi, a fifteen-year-old boy from Las
Palmetto, the capital of Zala, who journeys to the Altar of Light
and Idealism in order to be initiated, gain knowledge, and
comprehend the value of idealism, in addition to obtaining the key
of life. This book is the first of its kind and is an important new
addition to the series Africa in the Global Space.
