This book explores the concepts of evil in the world-views of Plotinus and the Nso' people of
Cameroon. The author analyzes the theories of the natural structure and social organization of
these views of the world. He stresses the importance of comparing Plotinus and African
philosophy. The book offers a proper appreciation of fundamental differences parallels and
similarities and seeks to build on shared values and common existential concerns in the
world-views of Plotinus and the Nso'. This book highlights the assumption that the world
understood in terms of its wider dimensions is not a purposeless conglomerate of phenomena and
events that bear no relation to each other but is rather a structured whole defined by
hierarchy and order.
