Introducing an African Mathematical Logic Further Discussions on Ozumba's Logic of Integrative Humanism Beyond Njikoka - African Logic

Introducing an African Mathematical Logic. Is logic the way we ought to think or the way we could possibly think? Many texts on classical logic have created the impression that there is a peculiar way in which we ought to reason if we must reason correctly, and that there are certain basic logical rules, which we must adhere to if we must reason correctly. This book tries to show that this school of thought is fast loosing grounds because day-to-day lived experiences generate varying instances, circumstances and contexts, which make us reason quite differently from the expectations of classical logic. When this happens we not reasoning illogically as the die-hard classical logicians may want us to believe; we are rather also reasoning logically. In Africa, because we experience reality as multiple diversities, survival is also possible through the complementation of diversities. But the complementation of diversities give rise to the pluasibility of a logic that is complementary, integrative and eclectic in character. Can we have an axiomatized version of such a logic?
