Philosophy and African Salvation
Professor Maduabuchi Dukor

Abstract
Africans must be capable of living in a competitive world. The focus of this paper, is on the metaphysical and existential questions of being and nonbeing, becoming and unbecoming, essence and existence, all bordering tangentially on the African salvation as a man or human species and as a spirit of soul. There is the assumption of the interplay of freewill and determinism in human activities and in particular Africa’s attempt to emancipate technically. The African is faced with two choices for her salvation; to leave the shell of panpsychic animism and enter into the kingdom of Theistic monotheism or to remain in the kingdom of theistic panpsychic animism and find her salvation therein. Africa’s salvation will require a radical retirement of traditional institutions in subordination to the almighty God, preferably through Jesus Christ and the subjection of local, environmental, village, community gods and ancestors in favour of the scientific and universal God.
