Professor of Philosophy, Sophie Oluwole, speaks on her efforts to get a canonical book on Orunmila, AKEEM LASISI writesVeteran, philosopher, Prof. Sophie Oluwole, appears to know how to practise what she preaches. She puts this in perspective in her book, Socrates and Orunmila: The Two Patrons of Classical Philosophy, published earlier this year. Indeed, beyond the general scope of philosophy, Oluwole can be regarded as an Ifa scholar. Juul later got inspired to produce a film on Ifa, and she felt that Oluwole could help her in her research. “I am particularly interested in what made her compare Orunmila with Socrates in her book,” Juul said.
