IGWEBUIKEOLOGY: AFUNDAMENTAL APPROACH TO AFRICAN PHILOSOPHY
Abstract
Kanu, Ikechukwu Anthony’s conceptual coinage of Igwebuikeology is understood as the
systematic study of Igwebuike philosophy within the bounds of traditional African
philosophic enterprise with regard to prospects and problems. Igwebuikeology is Kanu’s
fundamental approach to African philosophic enterprise visible in his other likely
concepts as Igwbuikecracy, Igwebuikepeadia and other literary publications. Using the
method of critical evaluation and analysis, the researcher appreciates Kanu’s great effort
in contributing to African philosophical enterprise.
