Goodbye, Dr. Obadiah Mailafia – by Farooq Kperogi

Dr Obadiah Mailafia The death of Dr. Obadiah Mailafia on September 19 touched me more deeply than I thought it would. He was an exceptionally smart, conciliatory, and gracious man who, in spite of appearances to the contrary, had no space for hate and grudges in his heart. He and I publicly clashed on at least two occasions. On both occasions, it was he, a much older person, who privately initiated reconciliation with me. Our first clash happened in 2016 at an online forum called the USAAfrica Dialogue Series where he expressed what I thought were unfair, conspiratorial, facts-free, anti-Muslim opinions. I challenged him with counter facts. Dr Farouk Kperogi Instead of responding to me on the forum, he reached out privately and admitted that said his thought-processes were probably distorted by the personal tragedies he had suffered in the hands of mass murderers who were Muslims. He shared photos of his relatives who had been murdered but assured me that he had...

Ludwig Andreas Feuerbach on Religion (1804-1872)

 By: DaboEuclid Feuerbach, leader of the left wing Hegelians was profoundly influenced by Hegel’s challenge to the Christian God. He had driven much pleasure in Hegel’s doctrine of the religious alienation of man in the master-slave relationship with the Christian God, but he debunked Hegel’s solution to such a problem. To Feuerbach, the God of the Christian do not need to be reformed, but in the other way, man need to be reformed. Man need not to be rescued from these Christian God, but he needs to be rescued from his own illusions about God. Religion does not make man, but man makes religion, it dogmas and principles are all man’s subjective thought. Man is a God on earth, any thought about a divine being called God, according to Feuerbach is a sheer sophistry and illusion. Feuerbach drew a logical conclusion of Hegel’s work in his book “The Essence of Christianity” published in 1845, in this book; He claimed that he had discovered the true the true nature of Religion. “All m...

ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER IDEAS

COMPILED BY: DABO EUCLID AMMEL Arthur Schopenhauer was born in Danzig in 1788. He was a contemporary of Hegel who refused to acknowledge that Hegel was an adequate successor of Kant (Stumpf and Fieser309). Schopenhauer launched a heavy criticism on Hegel such that he asserted no philosophy during the time Hegel. Full of pride, Schopenhauer regarded the philosophy that existed between Kant and himself as “mere University charlatanism.” Although Schopenhauer gave no premium to the philosophical works of Hegel, his “principle of sufficient reason” relatively connects with Hegel’s dialectic method. The “principle of sufficient reason” sets out to provide answers to the questions “what can I know? And what is the nature of things?” (312).  These which predates the pre-Socratic era intends to present a thorough account of the whole scope of reality. Relatively to Hegel’s teleological principle, Schopenhauer “principle of sufficient reason” states that nothing is without a reason. THE...
