Dear ALL:
It is a pleasure to announce the publication of my book from Routledge--

Philosophy and National Development in Nigeria: 
Towards a Nigerian Tradition of Philosophy

Book Description:

What does it imply for Nigerian philosophers to conscientiously and engagingly reflect on Nigeria as a place of philosophy and as a dynamic plural context of socioeconomic, political, cultural and ethnic problems? Any answer to this question automatically constitutes the opening salvo to the reflection on the evolution of a Nigerian tradition of philosophy and philosophizing. This book represents such an initial salvo in in its attempt to hammer out the conditions for the possibility of a Nigerian tradition of philosophy by placing that endeavor in between the triadic challenges of the Nigerian political economy, the African philosophical theorizing and the global epistemological hegemony. How do these three dynamics condition the evolution and functional relevance of the philosophical enterprise in Nigeria? How have Nigerian philosophers responded to them? What is Nigerian philosophy? How can there be a "Nigerian" philosophy when there are no Nigerians? This book is also an attempt to contribute to the trajectory of philosophy education in Nigeria within the context of a postcolonial educational system and university dynamics that stultifies the role of the intellectuals in development.

From Plato to Wiredu, from Bodunrin to Bourdieu, and from Heidegger and Nietzsche to Fanon, Mignolo and Santos, the book traces a trajectory of dynamics rethinking of existing paradigms and epistemological assumptions that could enable a robust evolution of a Nigerian tradition of philosophy that possesses sufficient clout to confront its historicity and its place in Nigeria’s development

Mighty Congratulations Sir !

Adeshina Afolayan : Philosophy and National Development in Nigeria: Towards a Nigerian Tradition of Philosophy

Since before Kwame Appiah's “ In My Father's House”, the world has been waiting. It was not too long ago that someone asked me, “Is it true that there are lions in Africa?”How does one answer that sort of question? 

Fantasising, I imagine Yoruba wisdom/ Yoruba ethics/Yoruba political thought should occupy a vast space under the blanket term “Nigerian” philosophy and I suppose that the Igbo brethren and sistren's philosophical excursions/adventures ( no doubt, excluding the separatists old and new) could also want to be nationalised or seek accommodate under the national blanket “Nigerian”, where there's room for all ethnicities not to forget the fifth column, the Diaspora where some heavy cogitations are taking place and much of the publishing too, in this case, none less than Routledge !

​Congratulations, indeed, Brother Adeshina, on the publication of your important book, Philosophy and National Development in NigeriaTowards a Nigerian
Tradition of Philosophy. In a variety of ways, its title reminds several of us of some older great publications: W.E. Abraham's seminal work
in the field (philosophy), The Mind of Africa; the Osagyefo's Consciencism; and  the indomitable Ali A. Mazrui's Towards A Pax Africana. Keep 
up the exemplary work!
