This is the first comprehensive exploration of African ethics
covering everything from normative ethics and applied ethics, to
meta-ethics and methodology, as well as the history of its
evolution. African Ethics provides an in-depth exploration of
Ubuntu ethics which is defined as a set of values based on concepts
such as reciprocity, mutual respect, and working towards the common
good. Ubuntu ethics also strongly emphasize the place of human
dignity. The book engages with both theory and practice and how
these ethical ideas impact upon the actual lived experience of
Africans. It also includes important political considerations such
as the impact of imperialism, colonialism, and capitalism on
African ethics as well as the negative impact of apartheid and the
renaissance made possible by the 'The Truth and Reconciliation
Commission' whose work was premised heavily on African ethical
ideas. This book is not just a wide-ranging and incisive
introduction but also a reformulation of key concepts and current
debates in African ethics. Crucially, African Ethics is an
inclusive text, one that speaks from an African perspective and
contributes to the decolonizing of contemporary ethics.
