issn: NA The Journal came into existence in 1996 as a multidisciplinary Journal of Philosophy, evolved and graduated into special issues dealing with the multifaceted challenges of Existence and Being. From Lagos State University where I was raised as an academic to Nnamdi Azikiwe University where I was made a professor, Essence has been a very influential forum for thinkers and professional philosophers in Nigeria, Africa, and the world in general. It has been a veritable avenue for interrogating philosophical questions and problems from different traditions and cultures, while essentially aiming at promoting African philosophy and philosophy in Africa.
