«This is a book that should advance the discipline of African philosophy. Dr. Gbadegesin brings his powers of clear expression and judicious reasoning to bear on a variety of topics of the profoundest significance for African philosophy in the contemporary world. I find his conception of African philosophy enlightened and his interpretations and analyses of Yoruba traditional philosophy enlightening. Equally impressive is the way he applies his philosophical skills to the treatment of some of the social ills of his society. Here, quite simply, is a good philosopher at work.» (Kwasi Wiredu, University of South Florida) «A few African philosophers are. producing contemporary philosophy by reflecting on West African traditions.

If philosophy is 'reflection on intuitions', the African philosophers should be reflecting on traditional African intuitions and thereby creating an African philosophy which is at once traditional and also contemporary. This is precisely what Gbadegesin is doing and his work is the best I have seen in this regard.» (H. Gene Blocker, Ohio University).
