This work is a philosophical exposition and analysis of Theistic
panpsychic rationality of African values, literature, poetry,
communication, arts and science as African contributions to the
Global village. Theistic panpsychic rationality is not only the
African second order method for reviewing and solving human
problems but also the metaphysics and hermeneutics of African
literature such as Chinua Achebe's 'Things Fall Apart' as well as
African conceptions of ethics, history and science. It is a
synthesis of the classical and contemporary African philosophies
and a bridge to African self -determination and renaissance in the
postmodern world. This is one the four great works of Maduabuchi
Dukor on African Philosophy which include 'African Freedom; the
Freedom of Philosophy', 'Theistic Humanism of African of
Philosophy' and 'Scientific Paradigm in African Philosophy'
This work is a hermeneutic anatomy of the theistic overtones and
humanistic undertones of Africa philosophy of culture. It shows
that theism and humanism are not contradictions in African
philosophy; their synthesis generates a pragmatic African
personhood, a unified human nature and world view. Hence, Theistic
humanism, Theistic pansychism and Theistic animism form a
transcendental unity of apperception and a prolegomena to future
African metaphysics. This is one the four great works of Maduabuchi
Dukor on African Philosophy which include 'African Freedom; the
Freedom of Philosophy', 'African Philosophy in the Global Village'
and 'Scientific Paradigm In African Philosophy'.
African people have been set on the edge of dependence, slavery and
deprivation because of the history and politics of White and Black
or Racism which started from the ancient Greece, through the 19th
century colonialism to the 21st century imperialism and
neocolonialism. The result is an African continent characterized by
underdevelopment. The objective of this work is, therefore, to
rediscover and re-assert the substance of the African as an
ontological being without a history of oppression, dehumanization
and defacement. The methodology is historical, analytical and
hermeneutical. It explores the meanings of freedom and then an
ideological anatomy of the dynamics of colonialism and
neocolonialism. Finally the work x-rays the concepts and practice
of globalization and social change with some thematic and pragmatic
postulates for African renaissance such as postmodernism,
globalized democratic existentialism and the logic of African
freedom. "African Freedom, the Freedom of Philosophy" is one of the
four Great works of Maduabuchi Dukor on African Philosophy which
include, "Theistic Humanism of African Philosophy," "Scientific
Paradigm In African Philosophy" and "African Philosophy in the
Global Village," all for Researchers, Scientists, Students and
Scholars.
