Kwame Nkrumah is globally recognized as a foremost pan-Africanist
strategist and statesman. He is less widely acknowledged as a
philosopher, in spite of his considerable philosophical training,
seminal contribution to African political theory, and incisive
critique of the ethics of international relations. Consciencism has
the distinctive status of being the only published book that
Nkrumah consciously meant to be a work of his philosophy, yet it
has failed to attract the focused attention of philosophers. The
chapters in Disentangling Consciencism: Essays on Kwame Nkrumah's
Philosophy critically explore the metaphysical, ethical and
political thought expressed in Consciencism. In doing so, they
broaden our understanding of his philosophical ideas and their
relevance for effective African contribution to thought in a
contemporary world in which Africa increasingly totters on the
margins of international affairs. In much of current moral and
political thinking, there is a tendency to universalize liberal
values and neglect non-Western philosophical perspectives. At the
same time, global normative thinking is overwhelmingly applied in
non-Western contexts. Writing from across three continents, the
contributors to this volume establish greater intellectual
connection among African, Asian and Western academics, and their
chapters offer explicit perspectives on the value of Nkrumah's
philosophy, and on the conceptual basis of early post-colonial
public policy options in Africa. A valuable appendix provides the
text of speeches delivered at the 1964 launch of Consciencism. With
insights into numerous dimensions of Nkrumah's philosophy, this
volume will be of particular interest to students and scholars of
philosophy-especially of non-Western metaphysical, moral and
political thought-and to anyone working in the history of African
political theory.
Arihito and his party have accidentally ended up on the third floor
of the first labyrinth far ahead of their time. Even with the
powerful back up of having "Death Sword" Elitia on his team, the
risk of so many low level Seekers travelling together may be too
much!
Arihito and his partyâs preparations for their ultimate battle
against the Shining Simian Lord are going smoothly: They now
possess an item that can lift Theresiaâs curse, and Arihito
recently obtained a new Hidden God power courtesy of Fylgja and her
Intelligent Armor. But the curse is still slowly eating away at
Theresia. To save her from this seemingly unbeatable foe, Arihito
must join forces with his vast support system and the Guild
Saviors!

Arihito, who had a chance encounter with the secret god Ariadne,
was ranked first in the eighth district. The group is about to take
the promotion exam to challenge the seventh district, but monsters
overflowing from the labyrinth attack the city...!
Just as Arihito and his party are in the midst of quelling a
stampede, a giant monster capable of overpowering his support and
defense skills appears. With civilians to protect and a formidable
foe to defeat, Arihito fears his luck has finally run out. Yet when
all hope seems lost, one Hidden God's powers will manifest and flip
the battle on its head...
Arihito faced off against the Shining Simian Lord in District Five
and successfully rescued Elitia, but the curse this horrible beast
inflicted on Theresia is destroying her bit by bit. In order to
save his companions and defeat the Simian Lord, Arihito must seek a
new power!
Arihito has obtained the power of another Hidden God and foiled a
plot from the White Night Brigade's assassins. Soon, he and his
party receive a request from the Guild Saviors to help suppress a
stampede in the Fifth Ward. Then a potential opportunity arises to
rescue Elitia's missing friend... Just how will Arihito realize
Elitia's most deeply held wish?
After their many triumphs against powerful Named Monsters, it's
time for Arihito and his party to take a much-needed break! Their
first post-reincarnation vacation brings them to a health resort,
courtesy of the Guild, where Arihito gets to see a side of his
comrades that he's never witnessed before. But rest and relaxation
may not come easy for him, because the White Night Brigade has
their eye on his infamous rearguard skills...!
Arihito and his party are making tremendous progress towards
District Six when the unthinkable happens: a Named Monster attacks
the top-ranked alliance Beyond Liberty and steals their leader's
soul! Only Arihito's group is capable of defeating this creature
and saving the leader's life...but what path will they take now
that this rival alliance no longer stands in their way?

The Idea of a Negro-African Philosophy is a short book originally
published in 1979. It is a concise, yet thorough and systematic,
exploration of the question of African philosophy as it emerges out
of the central concerns of the postcolonial present. "Propositions
on Cultural Identity" a short article, published in the same year,
is a succinct philosophic exploration of the question of identity,
as it pertains to the cultural, political and economic issues
linked to Africa's politico-economic dependence on the West. In
both texts - presented here in translation for the first time -
Towa engages the question of African Philosophy by concretely
exploring and showing how this question is organically linked to
the efforts of the Continent aimed at reclaiming its economic,
political, historical and existential actuality. Broaching the
question from slightly differing, yet complimentary, angles Towa
articulates a stance that directly engages the central concerns of
African independence, in the context of a postcolonial world that
is still tied to the apron-strings of its former colonisers.

After living life as a corporate lapdog, Arihito is reborn in a
fantasy world. Strangely, the class he's assigned is the very
ambiguously titled Rearguard. It seems weird, but Arihito soon
figures out that though it isn't flashy, he's gained the ability to
do just about everything in battle, from assisting attacking and
defending to healing! As he begins his new life, he quickly gathers
curious companions: his old supervisor who's younger than he is, a
mysterious demi-human mercenary girl, and a gorgeous high-level
swordswoman. With this bevvy of interesting ladies in his party,
his journey as the greatest supporter that's ever lived!
