Recenzii
“A lavish invitation to discover Yorùbá cosmology through the lens of Ifá, a spiritual system of knowledge and divination. Falola offers critical insights into Yorùbá spirituality and cultural continuity—essential for scholars of African studies and diaspora histories.”
“Falola explains the complexity, profundity, and relevance of the Ifá divination system through the lens of a great philosopher-priest of Yorùbá traditional religion. This is a major work that will change how scholars understand African indigenous philosophy.”
