Abstract

For sure, the desire for knowledge is innate in human beings. The human person is always in search of truth. The pertinent question now is: How do we justify truth-claims? Or put differently: How do we achieve a wholistic understanding of truth of reality? These and the related questions constitute the thrust of this paper. Therefore, in a bid to achieve the goal of this paper, we shall first of all analyze the concept of Igwebuike philosophy as understood in I. A. Kanu, and also present a general notion of truth and African epistemology. The paper focussed on Igwebuike philosophy and truth-claim in African epistemology. Thereafter, it ends with a conclusion
