• Logical Realism and Ezumezu Logic Abakedi, Dominic Effiong | Iwuagwu, Emmanuel Kelechi 2022 Filosofia Theoretica , Vol. 11 , Issue 2 , S. 61 ff. ( Zeitschrift ) Englisch 2276-8386 | 2408-5987 Abstract

    This paper examines the metaphysical status of Ezumezu logic in the direction of logical realism. While presenting Ezumezu logic as a prototype of African logic, Chimakonam makes statements that somewhat entail logical monism. Using the method of critical analysis of related literature, the paper argues that presenting Ezumezu logic as one of the prototypes of African logic while at the same time making claims that elevate it to a hegemonic status, gives rise to what is regarded in the paper as the monist-pluralist paradox. Drawing lessons from Abakedi’s ID paradox, the paper argues that a monist logical foundation for African logic cannot be consistently defended without paradoxes. The paper proposes that different African philosophies should be grounded by different African logics such that one need not be trained in one particular prototype such as Ezumezu logic or argue in conformity to it to qualify as an African professional or scholar.
