African Traditional Philosophy of Education. Essays in Igwebuike Philosophy

      Аннотация: African traditional education is an integral part of the culture and history of the African people. This is stored in various forms and transmitted through language, music, dance, oral tradition, proverbs, myths, stories, culture, religion, etc. It is referred to as traditional because it involves ideas that uphold the life of the African people in their relationship with one another and the world around them bequeathed to them from their ancestors. African traditional education covers, but not exclusively, areas like truth, justice, love, right and wrong, good and evil, beauty, decency, respect for people and property, the keeping of promises and agreements, praise and blame, crime and punishment, the rights and responsibilities of both the individual and his community, character, integrity, etc. This corpus of knowledge is passed from one generation to another, usually by word of mouth and cultural rituals. The piece on AFRICAN TRADITIONAL PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION: ESSAYS IN IGWEBUIKE PHILOSOPHY is a collection of papers written over the years in the area of African traditional education.
