Abstract

Humans or man in his society must necessarily possess sets of belief that he must depend on to remain sane. He learns to hold trustworthy factual statements and also to abide by them as universal imperatives. Such judgments includes facts such as feeling secure among families and close friends in the typical African community, feeling a sense of oneness in times of conflict, having a totem to run to in time of strife. This research work shall take time to evaluate Asouzu’s concept of the super-maxim, as to create a clearer perception of what judgment should be held as error free.
