Deep Knowledge: Ways of Knowing in Sufism and Ifa, Two West African Intellectual Traditions

by Oludamini Ogunnaike

This book is an in-depth, comparative study of two of the most popular and influential intellectual and spiritual traditions of West Africa: Tijani Sufism and Ifa. Employing a unique methodological approach that thinks with and from--rather than merely about--these traditions, Oludamini Ogunnaike argues that they contain sophisticated epistemologies that provide practitioners with a comprehensive worldview and a way of crafting a meaningful life.
