A Religio-Scientific Paradigm for Ethico-Value Reorientation in Africa
This study advances and critically evaluates a religio-scientific paradigm as a framework for ethico-value reorientation in contemporary African societies. Amid persistent moral challenges— including corruption, social fragmentation, environmental degradation, and declining institutional trust—the paper contends that neither religious ethics nor scientific rationality, in isolation, is sufficient to address the complexity of Africa’s ethical cris…
Personality Symbolism in African Philosophy and Religion
Human beings are inherently symbol-making, and this symbolic capacity is central to African philosophical and religious thought. In African traditions, symbolism is not a mere aesthetic element but a foundational ontological structure through which identity, personhood, and communal belonging are understood.

Eschatological discourse – the fate of the universe, including humans and the physical world – may also be prioritised. Death, the second coming of Christ, judgement, rewards, heaven and hel…
