Redefining African Philosophy For Emancipation From Western Cultural Imperialism

ABSTRACT
Any discourse on the phenomenon of the crisis in our environment devoid of its
theological perspective is an incomplete adumbration. The unarguable
interconnectedness of human and the environment is sustained by divine
principles. And so there is need for these principles to be known and applied. In
this work effort shall be made to shift radically from pure environmental concern
to deeper ecological issues which will define the teleological position of the
mission Dei in creation. It shall expose as it were areas of identified crisis in
environment and attempts by successive bodies, Protocols and commissions to
curb the activities that degrade the environment. But it is the thesis held in this
work that since these measures have been constantly flouted by those who put
them in place, and that a large percentage of these actions are anthropogenic,
which of course is ethical, there is need to support the theological panacea which
is laud in this work for a purposeful drive towards the sustainability of our
environment. It is recommended that at all levels we encourage environmental
education, while remaining thankful to God for the gifts of the earth.
