McKenzie describes the connection between Jamaican proverbs or "folk wisdom" with philosophy. Several examples of proverbs are provided, and are discussed in the following philosophical branches: metaphysics (the nature of existence or reality), epistemology (the nature of knowledge), ethics (the nature of morality), and aesthetics (the study of beauty in both art and nature).

Includes bibliographical references (page 53).
