Socrates and Arumila
Book •
Sophie Oluwole's writings, including her work that popularized Arumila, present Yorùbá thought as philosophically substantive and comparable to classical Western figures like Socrates.
By examining dialogues, proverbs, and indigenous texts, she argues for the presence of critical and dialogical methods in African traditions.
Her scholarship helped legitimize Yorùbá philosophy in academic discourse and inspired subsequent generations of African philosophers.
Oluwole's comparative approach underscores intercultural philosophical dialogue and recovers suppressed intellectual histories.
