Abstract

There are various versions of conceptual schemes through which African scholars have conceived the human being. While some took to communalistic and aesthetic perspectives, others took to socio ontological and theologico-anthropological perspectives while very many others took to normativist and derivatist perspective. Emmanuel Mathew Paul Edeh’s conception took an ontologico-aesthetic and derivativist perspectives where the human being is conceived as the ‘good that is’ following his/her ontological ‘participation’ in the ‘goodness’ of his/her Maker whose substance, essence and nature epitomize ‘goodness’.
