Item 1.317.pdf(Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba) AKINBO OJO OMONIYI; AKINBO OJO OMONIYITHIS RESEARCH WORK IS FOCUSED ON THE FALLACY IN YORUBA METAPHYSICAL NOTION OF NECROMANCY.Item THE FALLACY IN YORUBA METAPHYSICAL NOTION OF NECROMANCY.(Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba, 2014-05-05) AKINBO OJO OMONIYI; AKINBO OJO OMONIYIMetaphysics was derived from two Greek words "Meta" which means "after", and"physika" which means "physics" or "nature." This word metaphysics literally means "after physics", and it was first used by Andronicus of Rhodes.This explain that metaphysics is the study of things that are beyond the physical or perceptible world. However, this meaning of metaphysics seems to be so abstract because it only deals with things that are beyond this physical world. Alfred Whitehead on the other hand defined metaphysics to mean the endeavor to frame a logical and necessary system of general ideas in terms of which every element of our experience can be interpreted. This view was further buttressed by Walsh when he conceived of metaphysics to be comprehensive in nature in the sense that it deals with reality from a holistic perspective, that is, the whole of reality and not any fragment ofit in isolation of the other fragment.Item THE FALLACY IN YORUBA METAPHYSICAL NOTION OF NECROMANCY.(Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba, 2014-05-05) AKINBO OJO OMONIYI; AKINBO OJO OMONIYIMetaphysics was derived from two Greek words "Meta" which means "after", and"physika" which means "physics" or "nature."1 This word metaphysics literally means '' after physics'', and it was first used by Andronicus of Rhodes. 2 This explain that metaphysics is the study of things that are beyond the physical or perceptible world.

The conceptions that different people have on a particular object or phenomenonhave in no questioned way positioned the mind into giving different conclusive view on an object or phenomenon. That is the reason why such a concept like metaphysics is very difficult to define or meaningfully explained. However, despite the problematic and rigorousity involved in the conception of this concept, it is still to a considerable extent given some meaningful interpretations and perhaps definition.
