ABSTRACT
Onyankopon is the most vital and classical of the Akan postulates of divinity. Immanuel Kant would have described it as the Synthetic Unity of Experience. The English philosopher, Professor A. N. Whitehead, who had taken ultimate reality to be pure feeling, or the mode of experience proper to an unconscious mind, would probably describe the Onyankopon postulate as the principle of actuality and limitation through which or whom “the particular value of that shaped togetherness of things emerges.” He had associated ultimate reality with the emotional intensity entertained in life, and the vital cause or ground of that intensity he ascribed to God as the principle of actuality.
