Subject: Follow-Up Your Good Help Is NeededGood Greetings Mwalimu Falola, I shall be very grateful, if you could kindly forward this follow-up posting to the USA-Africa Dialogue listserv.Follow-up:Please copy < theai@earthlink.net> on your responses. Thanks a heap in advance for your good help.Next to one of my seven articles in The Oxford Encyclopedia of African Thought (2010) edited by Walimu F. Abiola Irele and Biodun Jeyifo is Mwalimu Dipo Irele's effulgent article titled "Epistemology and Theory of Knowledge." In the article, Mwalimu Irele discusses the Yoruba twin concepts for knowledge: i.e. Imo and Igbagbo. Does anyone know whether he has developed the conceptualizations into a full-fledged theory? If so, please direct me to the source.And here is wishing you a Very Merry Christmas and a Very Prosperous New Year or New You!In Peace Always,Karim/.Your Good Help Is NeededGood Greetings Fellow Falolaists:I pray that your day is going very well. I need your help in pointing me to or sharing your thoughts on the Yoruba framework on Knowledge. As you can see below, I am writing Chapter 18 of my second book on Mwalimu Toyin Falola's work to be titled Falolaism: The Epistemologies and Methodologies of Africana Knowledge. It would be nice to couch the chapter in both the Ancient Egyptian framework of Knowledge, which is pregnant in Mwalimu Falola's book, and that of Yoruba.Chapter 18
Postulates of Indigenous Knowledge Production in Mwalimu Toyin Falola?s Yoruba Gurus: An Ancient Egyptian Rekh Analysis
Introduction
By employing the Ancient Egyptian rekh framework, this chapter analyzes the postulates on indigenous production of knowledge in Africa proffered by Mwalimu Toyin Falola in his book titled Yoruba Gurus. Ancient Egyptians believed that rekh (knowledge?meaning to know, to be wise, to be acquainted with, to be skilled in an art or craft) involves both ren and sometimes ka (meaning to name, to create, to form, to fashion, to beget, to produce) and ?r or ?ri (meaning to do). In essence, knowledge involves both naming and action ? abstract and concrete ? competence and performance. Consequently, an ?ru or ?riu (a doer) is more preferable to an ?khem (meaning a do nothing, to be ignorant, to have nothing, inert, weak, feeble).
