Riassunto

African metaphysics briefly is a study of the African world and world-view. As a study, it takes a deep and wide look into the nature of ultimate reality for Africans. It looks into the nature of forces or beings in the African Universe, the relationship between the seen and the unseen. African metaphysics is the key to the understanding and interpretation of life, existence, being, in fact reality as a whole as observed in the African Universe. The African sees his universe as essentially a religious one; a unified whole of visible and invisible and this organic whole of the visible world 'spiritually' blends with the divine invisible world to give the African the ultimate whole of life. The African further recognises that the forces in the universe are in constant motion and each force tends to affect another by its motion. This text brings to light the essentials of the African belief system and also with a visible and comprehensively review of the phenomenon of the forces in his environment and how he manipulates or interact with his nature.It is a must read for Africans philosophers, students, researchers and also those who seek to understand the nature of the African universe in relation to his cultural and social environment. It is a philosophical scholarly masterpiece of elaborate metaphysical nature meant to bring to the lamplight the fact that African has a metaphysical philosophy of its own
