Absolute certainty and asouzu's transcendent unity of consciousness

It is generally believed that epistemology grew out of the sceptic challenge of the sophists. The sophists argued and taught that no knowledge is certain. These teachings woke up philosophers who attempted to show why knowledge could be certain. Right from the days of Socrates and Plato therefore, philosophers have battled strenuously to show that certain knowledge is possible and attempted to provide the best route to arrive at such knowledge. It is however, unfortunate that this quest has not yielded a satisfactory result. This has made a lot of philosophers to give up the search in despair and has resulted in the postmodern thinking, where attacks are directed at absolutes. Innocent Asouzu is one of the few philosophers who still believe in the possibility of attaining absolute certainty. This work therefore, surveys Asouzu Ibuanyidanda philosophy with the intent of unravelling his doctrine of absolute certainty. With this new insight into the way to absolute certainty given by Asouzu, this research hopes to quench the despair philosophers are presently enveloped in and thus, arouse anew the desire in them to theorize on absolute certainty. The research through Asouzu ideas would show why the various theories of knowledge failed in their attempt to reach absolute knowledge and thereby provide them with a better method to go about their quest.
