African nations are many and diverse, each one of them a
multicultural home to philosophies that have enriched human
communities over the centuries. Yet, the continent s wisdom remains
largely undocumented. Of particular importance are those insights
that could serve as stimuli to the more responsible and sustainable
management of the global economy and the earth's resources. African
philosophies about the way to live a flourishing life are
predominantly virtue-oriented. However, narratives of African
conceptions of virtue are uncommon. This book therefore helps
bridge an important gap in literature. Authors writing from South
Africa, Ghana, Egypt, Kenya, Mauritius, Cote D'Ivoire and Nigeria
share research on indigenous wisdoms on virtue, displaying a marked
consensus about the communitarian nature of African virtue ethics
traditions and virtues essential for a flourishing life. They also
show how indigenous virtue ethics improve corporate practices. This
book will be a launchpad for further studies in Afriethics as well
as a medium for sharing rich knowledge with the rest of the world.
These chapters form a unique record in ethics for researchers,
teachers, students and management practitioners of responsible
management and African studies. Contributors include: G.
