http://www.theophilsapiens.co.za was initiated to share reflections in the areas of knowledge mentioned above, inspired by John Donne’s rhymes “no man is an island”. Most articles and reflections published on this website are trials, sometimes in a raw outlook, or on refining process, with the hope that some readers, not only academics, may find them useful.
This website welcomes your thoughts as well as your positive remarks and contributions to improve its style and content.
