H. Odera Oruka Practical Philosophy: In Search of an Ethical Minimum Nairobi 1997 |
Nairobi: East African Educational Publishers, |
Practical Philosophy is Henry Odera Oruka's final book. Edited by Oruka himself, before his untimely death in 1995, this broad collection of essays, lectures and articles represents his research interests and his work from the early 1970's to the 1990's. His project of an alternative practical philosophy rests on four pillars that represent four principal interests of his work. These interests, which are also interwoven and interdependent, are divided into the book's four representative sections: 1) truth, 2) values, ideology and practice, 3) African philosophy and a conception of culture, 4) philosophy, ethics and environment. |
