Abstract

This paper argues the thesis that Plato’s political philosophy is highly relevant to Africa’s politics. Africa’s politics is characterized by a lot of crises such as corruption and other social maladies. Some of the so called leaders are not well trained; contrary to Plato’s political blue print. Some of African leaders are far from physical and psychological perfection. Acquisition of private property is also a serious issue in Africa’s politics. It is against this background that the paper addresses all these contending issues militating against Africa’s political system which will of course, affect her quest for development. The paper therefore discusses Plato’s political philosophy and its relevance to Africa’s politics. The paper concludes that Plato’s political philosophy is of vital importance to Africa’s politics.

Abstract

Africa is very rich both in human and natural resources. However, despite this, she is poor, undeveloped and impoverished as a result of crises, such as: political, religious, ethnic, cultural among others, which of course, affect her peace and quest for development. It is instructive and expedient to point it out that, no society can develop under strife, whatever may be the its source. A society that is conflict-ridden is not likely to get the peace that is predominantly necessary for development in all spheres of human activity. In order to achieve its intended objective, the paper discusses peace, conflict resolutions, meaning, features and dimensions of development. Also, some proposed recommendations are equally made. The paper concludes that, for Africa to develop, and join the comity of nations, there should be conflict resolutions and peace, this is because, peace is a necessary ingredient, sine qua non, hallmark and a great catalyst for true and all-round development.
