SOME IMPORTANT IDEAS IN ASOUZU’S PHILOSOPHY

Abstract

This paper examined the tendency for different people to perceive reality from there own unique perspectives, which almost often lead to upperclassicm, divisiveness, bifurcations, intolerance, ethnocentric reductions etc. It evaluated how this phenomenon could make man reduce his fellow and exalt himself, and how it has been the chief cause of several challenges in interpersonal exchanges, societal relations and in philosophical experiences. The paper noted that in order for being to enjoy fullness of joy, all existential entities must necessarily serve as a missing link of reality. Consequently, genuine awareness through Asouzu’s noetic propaedeutic becomes a necessary formular with which impediments such as unintended ethnocentric commitment and ambivalence of human interest can be mitigated, thus leading to a just, equitable, harmonious and violence-free society.
