    The Rule of correct thinking is

    • Philosophy

    • Logic

    • Epistemology

    • Empiricism

    Correct Answer
    A. Logic
    Explanation
    The rule of correct thinking refers to the principles and methods used to reason and make logical deductions. Philosophy is a broad field that encompasses various branches of knowledge, including logic. Epistemology is the branch of philosophy that deals with the nature of knowledge and how we acquire it, which is related to correct thinking but not specifically focused on logic. Empiricism is a philosophical theory that emphasizes the importance of experience and observation in gaining knowledge, but it is not synonymous with the rule of correct thinking. Therefore, logic is the most appropriate answer as it directly relates to the principles and methods of correct thinking.

    The Law of Contradiction stated that

    • Two Statements can both be true

    • No statement can both be true and false

    • All statement made are false

    • No answer

    Correct Answer
    A. No statement can both be true and false
    Explanation
    The Law of Contradiction states that no statement can both be true and false. This means that a statement cannot simultaneously have contradictory qualities. In logic and reasoning, this principle is fundamental as it helps establish the basis for determining the truth value of statements. If a statement is found to be both true and false, it would violate the Law of Contradiction and lead to logical inconsistencies. Therefore, the correct answer is that no statement can both be true and false.

    The Definitions of Philosophy can be exhausted

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that the definitions of philosophy can be fully explored or used up, implying that there is a limit to the understanding and interpretation of philosophy. However, this is not true as philosophy is a dynamic and evolving field of study that constantly generates new ideas and perspectives. The definitions and concepts in philosophy are open-ended and can be continuously reexamined and reinterpreted, making it impossible to exhaust all possible definitions.

This process helps in making the nation stable as it ensures that decisions are based on careful analysis and not influenced by personal biases or emotions.

    • To call on professional philosophers

    • To look at the various ways in which philosophers have presented philosophy

    • Not to define philosophy

    Correct Answer
    A. To look at the various ways in which philosophers have presented philosophy
    Explanation
    The best way to define philosophy is to look at the various ways in which philosophers have presented philosophy. This suggests that philosophy cannot be easily defined by looking at its origin or by consulting professional philosophers. Instead, it is better to examine the different perspectives and approaches that philosophers have taken in presenting their ideas about philosophy. This approach acknowledges the diversity and complexity of philosophical thought and emphasizes the importance of considering multiple viewpoints when trying to define philosophy.

    In recorded History Thales believed that the Unity of things comes from

    • Water

    • Air

    • Apeiron

    • Fire

    Correct Answer
    A. Water
    Explanation
    Thales believed that the unity of things comes from water. This belief is based on the observation that water is essential for the existence of life and is found in all living organisms. Additionally, Thales may have observed that water can transform into different states (solid, liquid, gas) and can shape the Earth through erosion and weathering. This led him to conclude that water is the fundamental substance from which all things originate and to which they return.

    Existentialism postulated that

    • Man Existed and then Dies

    • God created man to worship him

    • Existence precedes Essence

    • Essence comes before Existence

    Correct Answer
    A. Existence precedes Essence
    Explanation
    Existentialism is a philosophical belief that emphasizes individual existence, freedom, and choice. It argues that human beings exist first and then define their essence or purpose through their actions and choices. This means that individuals are not predetermined or created with a fixed nature or purpose by a higher power, such as God. Instead, they have the freedom to create their own meaning and purpose in life through their existence and choices. Therefore, the statement "Existence precedes Essence" aligns with the core principles of existentialism.

    • Fallacy of Equivocation

This fallacy occurs when a causal connection is assumed between two events without proper evidence or logical reasoning. In reality, lightning and thunder are both caused by the same phenomenon, which is a lightning bolt heating the air and creating a shockwave that produces the sound we hear as thunder. Therefore, lightning does not directly cause thunder, but rather they are both effects of the same cause.

The variable "x" is commonly used to represent an arbitrary element in the set or domain. Therefore, (x) is the correct answer as it represents the universal quantification.

    • Priori Knowledge

    • Synthetic Knowledge

    • Positivism

    • Synthetic A prori Knowledge

    Correct Answer
    A. Synthetic A prori Knowledge
    Explanation
    Synthetic a priori knowledge refers to knowledge that is not derived from experience but is still related to experience. This means that this type of knowledge can be known independently of any specific experience, yet it still has a connection to our experiences. It involves propositions that are not self-evident but can be known to be true through reasoning or intuition. This type of knowledge is often associated with philosophical concepts and is contrasted with a posteriori knowledge, which is knowledge derived from experience.

    • Peter Bodunrin

    • Pauline Hauntodji

    • Hegel

    • Plato

    Correct Answer
    A. Hegel
    Explanation
    Hegel developed the Socratic dialogue into a philosophy of the Absolute. Hegel was a German philosopher who believed in the concept of dialectics, which is the idea that truth is found through the clash of opposing ideas. He expanded on Socrates' method of questioning and dialogue to develop a comprehensive philosophical system that sought to understand the nature of reality and knowledge. Hegel's philosophy emphasized the importance of historical development and the interconnectedness of all aspects of life, leading to his concept of the Absolute, which represents the ultimate truth or reality.

    • The term African in Philosophy debased Philosophy

    • African should not participate in defining Philosophy

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. The term African in Philosophy debased Philosophy
    Explanation
    This argument suggests that the inclusion of the term "African" in philosophy devalues or diminishes the field of philosophy as a whole. It implies that African philosophy is not on par with other philosophical traditions and therefore should not be considered as a valid or significant contribution to the field. This perspective reflects a bias against African philosophy and undermines the importance of diverse perspectives and knowledge systems in the study of philosophy.
