Description
Summary:Abstract : In this piece focussed on the contribution that Augustine’s African background, that is, his Afro-cosmo-vision of reality, made to the development of his philosophy of education. This piece is very important, first, because we have found ourselves at a time when some scholars, against evident historical evidence, argue that Saint Augustine is not an African. Second, we have also found ourselves at a time when many scholars believe that nothing good can come from Africa. This piece would, therefore, serve as a pointer to the Africanity of Augustine and the Africanness of his philosophy and theology. The hermeneutic method of inquiry would be employed.
