This is book is surprising. And fascinating. It offers diverse and expansive strategies to frame axiology in the history of philosophy, and the wider history of ideas. Most impressively, examples are offered from the Nigerian context, adding both rigour and clarity.
A well written and carefully framed book. It has a strong and clear structure and pace.
