    Solidarity, a principle of sociality: phenomenological-hermeneutical approach in the context of the philosophy of Alfred Schutz and an African culture.Sylvanus Ifeanyichukwu Nnoruka - 2007 - Frankfurt am Main: IKO - Verlag für interkulturelle Kommunikation.
    The context of the work is the analysis of African values. The significance is the avoidance of generalizations. There are cultures in Africa and not just one culture and in each culture, there is a diversity of clans. The analysis of African values ought to have universal relevance, hence the use of phenomenological-hermeneutical method. This is the first analysis of such a value in the Igbo cultural group.

However, in some African cultures, the human intellect alone is not capable of understanding certain truth data thereby permitting the practice of divination. Nevertheless, most African cultures distinguish opinion (doxa) from (alatheia); emphasis is on objectivity rather than subjectivity. The methods (...)

    Judgement in African Thought.Sylvanus Ifeanyi Nnoruka - 2003 - Philosophy in the Contemporary World 10 (2):51-61.
    Critical thinking plays a role in African judgement. Here, factors that influence judgement are: culture, communalism, wisdom of elders, revelation from the gods, and observation. Factors that obstruct judgement include: colonialism, modernization, and new religions. However, thanks to Kant's critical philosophy, only objectively valid knowledge is actually knowledge in African traditional thought.

    Deforestation and reforestation: perspectives to reduce human caused desertification.B. Chiarelli - 1998 - Global Bioethics 11 (1-4):85-96.
    This paper presents the results of the Symposium on “Deforestation and reforestation: The Atlas Project”. From the studies presented appeared that at present the causes od deforestation do not arise so much from global climatic causes, but rather from human activity. Both the study conducted on the Nokopo population in Papua New Guinea, by Kocher Schmid, and the one conducted on the Berbers in Morocco, by Camperio Ciani and Arhou, presented a clear role of the local population and its tradition (...)
