NAMES OF MEMBERS ON THIS THREAD WHOSE ANSWERS ONLY TRUE SONS & DAUGHTERS OF AFRICA CAN GIVE WiLdFLame ORUNMILA IS A NOT JUST A GREAT PHILOSOPHER, IN HUMAN FORM HE IS THE GREATEST, ORUNMILLA is the only deity who witnessed it when oalandAgents2 Our great great grandfathers were more philosophical than all those European and Chinese figure our enslaved brothers and sisters have been so educated to mention so far. QuietHammer Can you blame them, well yes, I think we can, Why can't they think ? PS: are you related to InvertedHammer ? gwafaeziokwu Ma niqqa Sheunma Orunmilla for sure, Rene Descartes; an honorable mention and whom I even feel more than those overrated Greek plagiarists and unreal prophet of doom from the semitic world. lordskid Ofcourse he is so right typing Orunmila, unlike them children of slaves here who continue to prove there's nothing their ancestors have that is teachable to the world, only to consume what they are fed, when in fact we got the real deal here, why are Europeans and Americans of today are eager to die for IFA studies (AFA in Igbo), learning all the countless philosophies and esoteric powers encoded in it. Traveling here with so much eager to to learn and acquire as many as possible, no matter how long it takes. Flier Do you have any idea the amount of scientific knowledge in the African believe system, tho not empirical but effective, science tells us about a fundamental force called gravity, measured and calibrated it based on an agreed upon value and constant, like they did all other spatial, vector, scalar and so called fundamental qualities but can modern come up with an effective and perfect means to defy defy gravity without any external device or machinery ? You alone can suspend an object in thing air with the right incantation, study the incantation deeply by breaking it down and you would realized how words are programmed to manipulate/control/command that same force scientists decide to call gravity, which is just a meager part of the real thing, where is the source of the incantation, Orunmilla as passed down through it disciples from precient times unknown to dated history everyone is used to. Sunky200 Wa gba yi!!! Even if they don't know Orunmilla as bastardized by that miseducating nollywood and demonized by pro-Christian/Islam Nigeria, they could at least mention names of classical musicians from their respective tribes who sing music with deep philosophies and proverbs (popular or not), it's better than all those thieves they keep mentioning Tetehjewels Kudos to you brethren for typing in Pete Edochie! You are not a slave. dotunbidemi Preach to them, they all stole from Africa... iyke926 To add to Bob Marley is Fela Kuti, Chinua Achebe and Wole Soyinka which they've all failed to mention, what do you expect from people who behave and think like only a slave would ? FRESHG Ori e wa n be. ORUNMILLA surpasses all prophets, philosophers, wizard, scientists, mage, genius that would ever come to exist, his esoteric teachings alone is enough to solve various problem of the world, not to talk of all the divine powers he has access to. mcayomind You are duly sighted! human. 7lives Fuqman Thank you both for mentioning that, informing them slaves who love licking the the toes of the idol figures slammed on them by their Euro-arab slave masters.

These are my most influential for different reasons Socrates,Plato,Pythagoras,Karl Marx,Rene Descartes,John Locke,Immanuel Kant cos of his categorical imperative!frederich Nietszche,cos he was different his teachings were so abstract yet they were very deep and intelligent.Thomas Hobbes To especially for socio-political philosophy just like Karl Marx,Hobbes thoughts largely influenced and shaped the British system of government law and politics and he was the one with the theory of “state of nature”which I think is very brilliant....Socrates was a Martyr simply cos of his thoughts teachings and belief system and he was a very wise and deep thinker....Karl Marx influence is very huge it’s socio-political and economic in nature if we’re talking bout modern philosophers no one is as great as Marx he is the founder of communism and the greatest critique of capitalism his ideas influenced the Russian revolution led by Lenin who was a student of Hegel and Karl Marx.Marx ideas and influence can be seen in all communist countries today from Russia to China,to Cuba to North Korea Vietnam and Germany at Some point he also influenced the great Che Guevara a lot too.Oriental and Arabian philosophers Buddha,Confucius and Lao Tzu in that order Lao Tzu theory about the Art of War was largely used in the Military and in the business world also the Avicenna and Averrous were influential too they made contributions in the field of mathematics and science.....As for Africa asides ancient Egyptians whose identities and teachings are shrouded in mystery save Imhotep and a few others not much is known of them so I’m gonna go with IFa alongside Imhotep and funny most of the things I learnt bout the ifa was from the epic or traditional Yoruba movies I think the Yoruba-Nigerian thinkers didn’t do enough to propagate the teachings and thoughts of ifa,it’s corpus since this are very real deep and existential thoughts there is nothing wrong if it’s imbued and ingrained or embedded in the teaching of Yoruba language in schools and made part of its Curriculum.So we shouldn’t blame anyone who doesn’t recognize ifa as a great body of thought cause we the owners and the believers in the system haven’t done enough to take it to the world. |

killsmith:FOR ME O, KANT KARL MARX AND SIR RAIMUND KARL POPPER ARE THE BEST PHILOSOPHERS OF ALL TIME. ANY STUDENT OF PHILOSOPHY WOULD TELL YOU THAT KANTS CRITIQUE OF PURE REASON NOR BE BEANS. POPPER CAME WITH HIS THEORY OF FALSIFICATION. BASED ON THIS, HE SEES ALL LAWS IN SCIENCE AS A MERE CONJECTURES WHICH CAN BE SUBJECT TO REFUTATION. ACCORDING TO POPPER, ANYTIME A SCIENTIST IS AT WORK, HE IS EITHER FALSIFYING OR CORROBORATING A THEORY, THEREFORE HE DISAGREED WITH THE POSITIVIST ( VIENNA CIRCLES) THAT METAPHYSICAL PROPOSITIONS ARE NONSENSICAL AND MEANINGLESS (DAVID HUMES). POPPER IS MY GREATEST OF ALL TIME |
