THE IDEA OF TRUTH WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF IBUANYIDANDA

Abstract

This piece has attempted to examine the concept of truth in Asouzu’s Ibuanyidanda. Unlike the traditional theories of truth, the idea of truth within the context of Ibuanyidanda is comprehensive in nature and not one-sided. Thus, the notion that truth is conformity of objects to certain ideas or thoughts has its shortcomings within a complementary framework. Complementary reflection is a resulting attempt to expose the shortcomings of all forms of one-sided attempt at the presentation of reality. Asouzu approaches truth indirectly and introduces ontological logic to the understanding of truth.
