This is an extremely good optimization of what may be deemed a history of philosophy. A New History of Western Philosophy is a stimulating chronicle of the intellectual development of Western civilization, allowing readers to trace the birth and growth of philosophy from antiquity to the present day. Kenny also looks closely at each of the main areas of philosophical exploration: knowledge and understanding science metaphysics mind and soul the nature and content of morality political philosophy and God. Kenny tells the story of philosophy chronologically, his lively narrative bringing the great philosophers to life and filling in the historical and intellectual background to their work. Here readers will find not only an authoritative guide to the history of philosophy, but also a compelling introduction to every major area of philosophical inquiry. Now these four splendid books have been combined into one magnificent volume, providing a continuous sweeping account of the great thought of the Western world. The historical and epistemological importance of this to historians, linguists, and policymakers is highlighted.The individual volumes of Sir Anthony Kenny's acclaimed History of Western Philosophy have been hailed as "wonderful, authoritative, hugely rewarding" (Times Higher Education Supplement) and "genial and highly accessible" (London Review of Books). It shall also attempt to explain in the light of African colonial history how and why the modern and contemporary policy of Ethiopian states suppresses Afaan Oromo. But, how come that Afaan Oromo is reduced today to even below the regional, Oromiya, working language level in its status? Adopting an Africology and evolutionary linguistics perspective, this study shall exploit classical and contemporary archives and explore the etymological, epistemological, literary, theological and relational power of Afaan Oromo in explaining Africa’s pre-history as well as classical, medieval and modern era Africa’s and Ethiopia’s history. Early African travellers, too, were convinced that Afaan Oromo was not only the lingua franca of Africa up until 19th century CE, but was possibly the language of the Ancient Egyptian, Ancient Nile Valley or possibly even of Hittite from which was Indo-European languages emerged as offshoot. Moreover, comparative theologians used Afaan Oromo and culture to understand the origin of major religions of the world. Similarly, early Assyriologists had to study Afaan Oromo in order to decipherer Babylonian cuneiform writing system. Early Egyptologists had to first study Afaan Oromo in order to understand Ancient Egyptian or Kemet hieroglyphics.
