Item Book Review: Joseph M. Nyasani "The African Psyche"(Kenyatta University Faculty of Arts, 1999) Makokha, K.Philosophy like any other discipline has its branches, each of which is the concern of specific philosophical problems. The main branches of Philosophy are: logic, which deals with correct reasoning; epistemology, which inquires into the nature and claims about knowledge; axiology, which deals with values in general, including ethical and aesthetic values and metaphysics which is the main focus of this essay. This is because The African Psyche is a treatise in this field. Etymologically, metaphysics is derived from two Greek words, meta and physika meaning that which comes after or beyond physics. Thus, metaphysics by applying the basic principles that underlie the workings of human mind such as the principle of contradiction, the principle of sufficient reason etc., endeavours to come to terms with questions of ultimate concern such as the beginning and destiny of the universe. Indeed, metaphysics, like philosophy in general, tries to account for the why of things.Item Christians at Crossroads: Entangled by Religious & Global Political Correctness(2024) Waswa, Sisa-FuchakaItem Leadership and Performance in Public Secondary schools in Kenya: Relationship between headteachers' Leadership Styles and Secondary school Students' Performance in Kenya(LAP LAMBERT Academic Publishing, 2012-04-17) Njuguna, F.Item Leadership Effectiveness and Job Satisfaction: Educational Leadership: Leadership, School Climate and job satisfaction of teachers(LAP LAMBERT Academic Publishing, 2012-05-07) Njuguna, F.Item Woman Lost in the Global Maze: Women and Religion in East Africa Under Globalization(Oxford university press, 2011-11) Mwaura, P. N.This chapter interrogates the interplay between globalization, religion, and women in the East African context, and seeks to respond to the following questions: What aspects of globalization affect the spaces where women operate? How has globalization affected gender and family relations? How can justice-seeking feminist theological discourse respond to the challenges of globalization? The chapter begins by defining East Africa; analysing the religio-cultural context that has been shaped by the indigenous African worldview, Western Christianity, colonialism, and the current globalizing forces; and examining how women and religion have been impacted by these complexities and changes. Thereafter, the experiences of women under globalization are discussed with reference to selected issues such as poverty, economy, employment, environment, health, and education; issues chosen because they are critical to women's well-being. As major victims of globalization, women struggle daily to surmount the challenges it poses. In conclusion, ways of responding to globalization from an African women's theological perspective are discussed.
