In this weeks lecture we discussed the story of Iwa (my personal favorite topic), the rational behind the question research question, and the African Philosophers which preceded the well-known Western Philosophers. In the story of Iwa, Orunmila mistreated his wife, Iwa, who represents existence and good character. So Iwa, leaves him and he becomes desperate and begins to look for her. I really enjoyed this story (not just because a woman made a man become desperate) because it showed how without really understanding who you are and your existence you can not go far in life. We discussed the different fields of study involved in the research question, which include: Fine Arts, Humanities, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences, Engineering, Law, Business, etc. We also discussed how before western philosophers such as Plato, Socrates, and Muhammad there were African philosophers like The Goddess Ma'at, Vizier Ptahhotep, and Pharaoh Rameses the Great. Within the rational behind the research question we talked about Academic Knowledge and how many people have disconnected African Knowledge and excellence with Human Knowledge and Excellence. This relates back to Dr. Carr's lecture.
