  2.  Conversational Philosophy Research Themes (CPRT):

As a foundational member of the CSP, Victor has continued to contribute to the development of Conversational Philosophy by engaging with the works of Jonathan Chimakonam Okeke – who is the originator and foremost exponent of Conversational Philosophy as a school of thought. So far, he is committed to:

  1. The development and projection of Conversational Curriculum for teaching and learning in a diverse, dynamic and intricately interconnected world.
  2. The development and projection of Conversational Philosophy as a Postcolonial Tradition of Philosophy.
  3. The development and employment of Conversational Thinking as a Postcolonial Methodological Orientation for cross-cultural understanding, transcultural analysis and global normative theory.

The above three broad issues have continued to influence the basic focus of Victor’s research and publications since 2012. His novel personal and collaborative -contributions buttress the need for a ‘glocal’ approach to academic philosophy and its implications for education and right conduct in a complex world of intricate interconnections between diverse individuals and peoples. Feel free to contact him for further discussion and collaborative research on any of these issues. Victor is also interested in any discussion on the history and prospects of extant and emergent works on Conversational Philosophy.
