• TITLE: A Theoretical Foundation for Understanding Law Subjects and Rights in Igbo Philosophy of Law

  AUTHORS: F. O. C. Njoku

  KEYWORDS: Foundation; Law; Rights; Igbo Philosophy

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Philosophy, Vol.3 No.1A, February 26, 2013

  ABSTRACT: This paper attempts to respond to a call to find an ontological basis for establishing African legal theory. The African world of my choice is the Igbo world of South-east Nigeria. It is a world I want to examine to see how its material and theoretical structures help articulate a philosophy of law in terms of projecting a consistent understanding of law subjects and the foundations of their rights. The article builds on the contributions of F. U. Okafor and his many African critics.
