This book investigates the ubuntu theory-based conception of virtue
and moral character formation in the northern, western, and eastern
regions of Africa, suggesting a critical reconstruction of ubuntu
by conceptualising the four different forms of practices in moral
character formation. Arguing for the critical reconstruction of
ubuntu virtue theory as more nuanced than simply the standard
ubuntu normative virtue theories (which give priority to the
community as the sole locus for understanding virtues and character
formation in Africa), the book builds a comprehensive model of
virtue and moral character formation that draws insights from the
reconstructed notion of ubuntu and other theories within and beyond
the African thought. Chapters feature experience from across Africa
including Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Kenya, and South
Africa, and centre on topics such as traditional cultural views and
practices, political systems in various nations, neoliberalist
thought, and primary, secondary and tertiary education systems in
Africa and further afield. This is a valuable resource for
scholars, academics, and postgraduate students, working in the
fields of moral and values education, philosophy of education, and
the theory of education more broadly. Those also interested in
educational psychology may also find the volume of interest.
