Perspectives from An Armchair

The opinions of armchair philosophers to whom life is in black and white are not often taken seriously probably because they are often too loudly expressed or irritatingly argumentative. These opinions arise however from social concern and from exasperation at the apparent lack of concern by the rest of the population about serious matters of human existence. Some armchair philosophers have consequently given up the world as mad or stupid and will turn to the sports rather than read the news or opinion pages of newspapers. Many issues of concern to armchair philosophers however deserve greater attention and reflection by the rest of us. In this book the opinions of an armchair philosopher on cultural social economic and political issues which trouble individuals Western civilization the continent of Africa and two countries Nigeria and the United Kingdom are discussed.
