Abstract :The paper examines the issue of African metaphysics which revolves round the conception of a vital force which the Africans take as the primary unifying stuff of the universe permeating all existing being, physical, quasi-physical or spiritual. The paper finds that this unifying force is significant or dynamic. The method of analysis is conceptual. The paper concludes that in African traditional metaphysics lies a fertile source of knowledge and values exploration that are essential in a changing world.
