A Philosophical Appraisal of Igbo Epistemic Metaphysical Notion of Truth
Journal Title: Annals of Bioethics & Clinical Applications - Year 2022, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
The concept of truth has been a relative notion in different eras and in varied philosophical and historical context. On that very day Pilate directed to Jesus the question, what is truth?; truth has become a preponderant problem in philosophical discourses though not preposterous in the sense that it is not over and above human comprehensibility. Undoubtedly, the conception of truth is relative to different societies of the world just as philosophy varies geographically. This is certainly as a result of the geographical setting of the society in question, coupled with the cultural inclination and social interaction among members of the society. To this end, truth has been one of the most important, if not the most important issue in the history of Man. Philosophy in itself is built on the excavation of truth in its changing nature. With critical and reflective approach, therefore, this study is geared towards excavating the Igbo epistemic and metaphysical notion of truth.
