  2. A REVIEW OF PLATO's REJECTION OF ART IN RELATION TO THE IGBO/AFRICA's ARTISTICTRADITION.John Ezenwankwor - 2022 - African Journal of Social and Behavioural Sciences (Ajsbs) 12 (2):461- 465.
    This paper argues that the Igbo artistic tradition, contrary to Plato‟s, represents authentic Igbo cultural traits, and fills the gap between the abstract reality and the physical world. There is some obvious difficulty encountered by most of the expatriate scholars in understanding the new meaning of art, especially, with regard to professions. Traditionally, artistic forms are simply derived from specific objects in nature, or as an illustrative symbolic representation of a specific abstract being Plato‟s account of arts as imitation doubted (...)

  3. Rethinking Libral Interest and Rights: A Case for Group Rights.John Ezenwankwor & George Mbara - 2022 - In Doris Obiano, Christian Agama, Kenneth Chukwu & Benedict Igbokwe (eds.), Trends and Approach to Multidisciplinary Issues in the Academia: A Festschrift in Honor of Rev. Prof. Jude Onuoha. MEZ Publishers Limited. pp. 139-155.
    The liberal conception of rights which has dominated the greater part of the 19th and 20th centuries is still very relevant today with its emphasis on individual interests. The liberals consider the rights or the interests of individual members of the society as trumps over group interests. Under the liberal harm and offence principles for example, they hold that whatever interests claimed by the groups should have adequate protection under individual interests or rights. This paper, while recognizing the controversies and (...)

  4. African Unfreedom: An Escapist Excuse for Underdevelopment.John Ezenwankwor & Wenceslaus Madu - 2020 - Open Journal of Philosophy 10 (4):460-468.
    The African continent has played host to various colonizers from the western world. Most of these countries have negative tales of the activities of the colonizers before independence as well as their neo-colonizing activities after independence. On this basis, it is axiomatic for most African scholars to impute the guilt of African woes to the activities of the colonizers. They consider the whole gamut of colonial legacies in Africa as a doom and a problem to the African continent. Some of (...)

  5. Dukor's African Unfreedom and Moral Responsibility.John Ezenwankwor - 2013 - Open Journal of Philosophy 3 (1):213.
    It is axiomatic for most African scholars that the colonizers are responsible for the present problems facing the African continent. This is given much credence by Maduabuchi Dukor citing a barrage of issues which in summary pointed to the fact that the legacy of the colonizers to the African continent was ill willed to create chaos and therefore to make the African perpetually dependent on the colonizers. This paper accepts this fact but insists that the African as a human being (...)

Incidentally, he surpasses his master, Hart, in this book, by correcting his mistaken and poor (...)
