O knihe
This book examines the various interpretations on the debate of the concepts of ori and human destiny in Yoruba traditional - African thought in view of attempting a comparative analysis of these interpretations as to show their points of agreement and disagreement. It also xrays the idea of man and personhood in Yoruba traditional thought and it goes beyond the dualistic nature of man in western conception and it states that a person is composed of four elements. Two of these elements (i.e "Ori" and "Ese") Inner head and Spiritual leg jointly determines human personality. Furthermore, the work submits that, the concepts of Ori and Human destiny fits very within the framework of Soft deterministic interpretation given its consistency with Yoruba idea of moral responsibility and human freedom.
