A REVIEW OF PROF KANU‟S “IGWEBUIKE AND THE QUESTION OF SUPERIORITY OF THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY OF KNOWLEDGE”

Abstract

This paper was published in 2017. It tends to place Igwebuike within the ambience of proper identity. To know is very natural and in congruence with the natural identity of man since man by nature desires to know. To know is congenital to man as homo cogitans. Hence, to the ancient Greek aphorism know thyself, Socrates, an Athenian moral philosopher was popular in his use of the Delphic maxim Man Know thyself. By implication, it seems very much true that man‟s sojourn on earth is within the bounds of knowledge. This knowledge, which is either empirical or rational (ideological), and according to Francis Bacon is power has Universal application.
