Intellectus Prize in Philosophy Categories
There are two levels of participation:
Postgraduate Level
Topic: The Philosopher King and Leadership in Nigeria
The topic is developed from statement credited to Socrates that:
- “Until philosophers are kings, or the kings and princes of this world have the spirit and power of philosophy … cities will never have rest from their evils…” (Republic 5.473; Jowett 1991, p. 203). you may also like PYEI Phase IV – sayouth.mobi
Note: Students are free to address the topic from any philosophical perspective and/or method but with a clear focus on contemporary Nigeria and the consistent challenges surrounding leadership.
Submission should be no more than 6500 words, excluding references and abstract.
Undergraduate Level
Topic: Social Media and Traditional Virtues: a Quandary for Modern African Youth
- The topic is developed based on the possible merits and demerits of social media in its encounter with African traditional virtues. Since social media can be a channel for the influx of cultures, norms and values that are foreign, though not necessarily bad, how do we make a balance whenever the influx is tantamount to eroding traditional norms and values? If we have contemporary (social media generation) youths as political leaders in Africa, to what extent would African traditional virtues be sacrificed?
Note: Students are free to address the topic from any philosophical perspective and/or method but with a clear focus on Africa and/or Nigeria and the consistent extant issues ongoing on social media.
Submission should be no more than 4500 words, excluding references and abstract.
