The problem of suffering and the reality of evil reflects daily in the pages of human experience and existence. There are sorts of sorrows and sufferings, all kinds of inhumanities to man and his insecure existence in the world. Evil and suffering is always a dark, ugly heartbreaking and crushing reality. Therefore, this paper will help us understand the human suffering in relation to existence. The paper embraced philosophical methods of historical, analytical and theological. Historical since I didn’t start from scratch, problem of suffering is historical. Our topic being a philosophical problem, the question ‘why’ this affecting man. Can we address it rationally? Analytical since we have analyzed ideas developed about the problem of our subject as we came across them in our study. We saw the arguments of different philosophers more so Soren Kierkegaard his ideas and many philosophies more so existentialism school of thought; hence we embraced the method of analytical. The topic being a theological problem since it touches the person of God and his ways of acting upon His creatures who experience the existence, they are the ones to have faith in him and they are the subjects of evil and suffering; hence again the paper had to take the study of the nature of God and religious belief dimensions. Thus, our topic tackled different questions in this study, at last we come to agree that suffering can’t not be an idea to talk about without existence of human, that is to say actually that is to say, the essential part of existence is suffering.Item SOCRATIC CITIZENSHIP IN PLATO’S APOLOGY AND CRITO, A CRITICAL EVALUATION OF KENYAN LIVED CITIZENSHIP(Tangaza University College, 2022-11-11) MBOLU, VINCENT MUTUNGAThis study seeks to address the problems which have been affecting Kenyan citizenship using the Socratic in conception Plato’s Apology and Crito in which Kenyans can strengthen their lived citizenship. Since Kenya gained independence, we have experienced many challenges in attempt to live the citizenship described in the constitution.

It begins by examining the Socratic notion of citizenship then goes further to analyze the nature of citizenship portrayed by most of the Kenyans. It will point out the real problems hindering Kenyans from being good citizens. The study examines also Socratic citizenship as portrayed in Plato’s Apology and Crito and how it can be used as a model of a good citizenship by the Kenyans. The study will employ contextual analysis method of philosophy to address the problems facing Kenyan citizenship. In addition, it will involve reflective and conceptual method of philosophy especially in concept of Socratic citizenship.

They to portray themselves as full and good citizens caring for society through Corporate Social Responsibility activities. However, a critical review of documented cases on international businesses arena shows that this may be a marketing strategy. The activities themselves and the means of implementation contradict with other practices of the corporation. Corporations are not just legal bodies, but also moral agents, responsible for praise or blame for their acts. Their activities therefore ought to be morally good. We argue that to the extent that these actions are driven by other motives other than performance of the good in itself, and do not respect the freedoms and uphold respect and dignity of the person, as required under Kantian Categorical Imperatives, they are unethical. Otherwise, CSR as an act of benevolence from duty is morally good. Furthermore, moral good and making profits for the company are not mutually exclusive, since they can be achieved simultaneously. The Categorical Imperative formulation of “kingdom of ends” recognizes that there are many stakeholders, and every member should treat the others as ends and not means. Thus, an initiative that meets interests of more than one category of stakeholders at the same time is not necessarily against acting from duty. Therefore, this study research on looking at how moral values can be inculcated in corporations’ corporate social responsibility activities. This is done by specifically looking at Kant’s moral theory, and how the Categorical Imperatives formulated by him can shape CSR.Item PHILOSOPHICAL INQUIRY: FREEDOM AND DETERMINISM BASED ON ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER(Tangaza University College, 2022-12-11) KIMEU, STEPHEN NGAUItem THE RELEVANCE OF AQUINAS’S NOTION OF FREEDOM AND LAW TODAY(Tangaza University College, 2022-11-11) ANYOLO, ANDOLI VICTOR
