Iwa Pele: Good and Gentle Character
Jahsun Edmonds discusses the concept of iwa pele from Yoruba philosophy, emphasizing its meaning as “good and gentle character.” He explores how this principle is centered on correct action and ethical behavior, drawing connections to similar ideas, such as ma’at in ancient Kemet and the standards set in U.S. legal system. Edmonds further explains related Yoruba terms like Omoluabi (a person of good character) and Eniyan Gidi (the fully realized human being).
