1.5 DIVISION OF WORK
This
work is divided into five chapters. The first chapter tries to give the
general introduction to the work. Herein, the problem to be tackled,
the purpose, scope, methodology and the division of the work are given.
In the second chapter, we shall attempt the review of literature on the
notion of the human person from the inception of critical philosophy in
Ancient Greece till the contemporary age. An exposé of Kierkegaardian
notion of the human person is given in chapter three, whereas the
African concept of the individual in highlighted in chapter four. In
chapter five, we shall attempt the juxtaposition of the Kierkegaardian
and the African person. This will be an evaluation of both views and
finally, a conclusion on what the authentic self should be from the
perspective of the researcher.
