Résumé

In the search for truth, how do we go about it? What is truth? Is it an opinion? Does truth have a universal characteristic or standard? Does it differ in socio-cultural, socio-religious and socio-political terms? Truth is often seen as being in accordance with fact or reality. But that fact or reality can be argued by the relativists to be subject to change or only spurred for the moment. This present paper tends to look at Igwebuike as a concept and see how the term as an Igbo worldview represents a universal search for truth in reality and how it relates to relativism. Is truth absolute or is it relative? The Study seeks to answer this and the related questions. For the purpose of this paper, the Igwebuike Research method of inquiry was employed.
