Abstract
This study creates an Igbo idea of Death’ which leads to a philosophy of History. Through its vocabulary here, a philosophy of history develops. Many reasons justify this focused inquiry as worthwhile. Some key terms have been noted alongside some Igbo names conveying senses of death through their meanings, causes and types. History and Philosophy have been defined briefly before considering some contextual facts. Such as change, activity asocialness, immanence, travelitis, and social deaths including assimilation. To the Igbo, Death obstructs achievement. They confront it to make history so as to avoid Death.
