The broad objective of this paper is to investigate into the Ultimate Being
in Igbo Ontology. However, this is a rather ill-defined ambition; and so the First of the Paper's Nine Chapters is spent translating it into definite, manageable problems and questions. It is our firm belief that problems once identified are already half solved. And that time is over due for us to begin thinking upon the thinking of the pre-modern African on some basic issues to develop a systematic philosophy for the modern African states based on the dogmatic but enduring assumptions of the past. The Chapter concludes with an examination of the contributions of some scholars who made worthwhile contributions in our area of investigation.
