Ontologized Ethics: New Essays in African Meta-Ethics examines an
often neglected meta-ethical issue in African philosophical
discourse: the extent to which one's orientation of being, or idea
of what-is - as an individual or as a group of persons - does, or
should, determine one's concept of the good. To what extent is
ethics, or our idea of what is permissible or impermissible,
grounded on ideas of what fundamentally exists or what it means to
be? The aim of this collection of essays, with emphasis on an
African philosophical context, will be to establish more firmly and
vigorously whether there is an intrinsic link between ontology and
morality - that is, whether, and, if so, how the proper norms for
human actions can be explained and validated once we make lucid
ideas about metaphysical topics such as human nature, community,
relationality and spirituality. The essays included in this volume
focus rigorously on ethical issues such as communalism, adultery,
environmental ethics, and bioethics with the primary aim of showing
whether the link between such issues and metaphysical beliefs is
trivial or intrinsic.
