One of the major problems of man and artificial intelligence,is human's gullibility towards artificial intelligence. This can lead to misinformation, manipulation and exploitation because humans blindly trusty artificial intelligence outputs without critically evaluating them. This research gives an in depth analysis of philosophy, man and artificial intelligence.It criticizes, evaluates and questions artificial intelligence. It posits to solve man's gullibility in terms of technology. It is to serve as an eye opener to make man take cautious steps in the business of artificial intelligence, technological inventions and its usage. It romances across the philosophy of mind, with the question; Does artificial intelligence have a mind or consciousness? Will our over dependence on artificial intelligence lead us to existential crisis? The weaponization of artificial intelligence which could be detrimental to the human race just like nuclear bombs and unemployment. The religious implications, metaphysical implications, ethical implications and how long before artificial intelligence adapts fully and begins to revolt against the human race? In the light of this, we shall also critically analyze Alan Turfing's theory on artificial intelligence that holds that "artificial intelligence should be defined in the terms of acting and not thinking" explaining also the Turing test, its achievements and limitations. In this case, we will be using analytic and critical methods. We shall break into smaller bits the concepts of artificial intelligence so we can understand the meaning and use of artificial intelligence and using critical methods to analyze and criticize artificial intelligence, these methods will be used to give in depth understanding of the work. From the findings of this study, we discovered that the Influence of artificial intelligence has existential effects ranging from the physical to the psychological influences which have negative and positive effects on humans

This study argues that we live in a physical world with its four known space-time dimensions of length, width, height (or depth) and time. However, God dwells in a different realm—the spirit realm—beyond the perception of our physical senses. It opines that is not that God is not real; it is a matter of His not being limited by the physical laws and dimensions that govern our
world (Isaiah 57:15). It poses a question that: Knowing that “God is spirit” (John 4:24), what is His relationship to time? It then argues that though we cannot possibly comprehend this idea of eternity or the timelessness of God, we in our finite minds try to confine an infinite God to our time schedule. Those who foolishly demand that God operate according to their time frame
ignore the fact that He is the “High and Lofty One . . . who lives forever” (Isaiah 57:15). This description of God is far removed from man’s condition. The study asserts again that, because of our finite minds, we can only grasp the concept of God’s timeless existence in part. And in so doing, we describe Him as a God without a beginning or end, eternal, infinite, everlasting, and so on. He always was and always will be. The study holds that time is a necessary precondition for change and change is a sufficient condition to establish the passage of time. In o cannot recover the minutes that have passed by. The bottom line is this: time began when God created the universe. Since there was no matter, and because God does not change, time had no existence and therefore no meaning, no relation to Him. And this brings us to the meaning of the word eternity. God has no beginning or end. He is outside the realm of time. God is even beyond eternity. The traditional view has been that God is timeless in the sense of being outside time altogether; that is, He exists but does not exist at any point in time and He does not experience temporal succession.

Negritude responded vigorously to the alienated position of the blacks in history. The study clearly shows that the Negritude movement was inspired by many Africans to protest colonial rule, as black students, scholars, and artists from French colonies came together in the face of growing fascism, to push criticism of Western culture, colonialism, nostalgia for and glorification of Africa. The study also reveals that aim and objective of Leopold Sedar Senghor in Negritude, which was promoting appreciation of the history and culture of black people. The study equally shows that Leopold Senghor was a major theoretician of
Negritude. The study further reveals that the essence of Leopold Senghor's political thought was for the Africans to find pride in his culture, while Jean - Paul Sartre praised Negritude as the revolutionary poetry of the time, he maintained the traditional Marxist view about the proletariat being the true revolutionary class and actor of history. This work adopts method of Hermeneutics to argue a case for Sartre’s “Orhée Noir”.

The Nigerian Contemporary Society in the Light of Aristotle’s Golden Mean: A Critical Evaluation examined the concept of the Golden Mean as out forward by Aristotle, and apply it to the contemporary Nigerian Society. The work argued that the Nigerian society is not living up to the ideal of Golden Mean, and that this has led to a number of social problems. It concludes by suggesting some possible solutions to these possible problems. Using the Golden Mean as a guide, we first examined the state of the Nigerian Society, and highlight some of the main social problems. We argued that the Nigerian Society is not striking a balance between the extremes of excessive spending and excessive saving, excessive individualism and excessive collectivism, excessive selfishness and excessive selflessness. We then offered some possible solutions, including introducing theculture of moderation and balance, and promoting the values of hard work, honesty, and self reliance

There has been a growing interest among gender sensitivists’ and agitation for women equality with men. Philosophical interest on gender is historical. But the recurrent question that remains unanswered is: what is the basis of quest for gender equality or otherwise? Is gender equality real, possible or necessary? Several plausible claims are made by the equalitarians. But Chisholm worries why it be acceptable for women to be secretaries, librarians and teachers, but totally unacceptable for them to be managers, administrators, doctors, lawyers and members of Congress? Why is the unspoken assumption that women are different; that women should not have executive ability, orderly minds, stability, leadership skills and they are too emotional; that women should not have the
opportunities that men do? The underlying issue, therefore is that men and women despite their common humanity are socially construed; why? According, this paper espouses Shirley Chisholm’s (amongst other) views on the controversy. The work is theoretical/analytical and therefore adopts a content analysis to review some of existing theoretical amid evident material; to examine the concept of on gender equality, and to review some perceptions on the subject-matter. Essentially, the work discovers that Chisholm’s position is that men and women are equally human
an…rational as humans; second is that the existing relations between the sexes, in which women are subordinated to men, are unsatisfactory and therefore ought to be changed. Consequently, the work concludes that the existing distinctions between the sexes are not only arbitrary but are also socially/humanly and culturally contrived, and therefore should be displaced. Hence the work suggests that everyone, anyone ought to have the opportunity to actualize or fulfill his or her potential.

This Project presents a critical examination of Aristotle's concept of gender essentialism, which posits that women's biology determines their social roles and capacities. Through a liberal feminist lens, this analysis challenges Aristotle's hierarchical and binary view of gender, arguing that it perpetuates harmful stereotypes, limits women's potential, and reinforces patriarchal norms.
