This book is a contribution to African philosophy, by philosophers
focusing specifically on the concept of human dignity in ethical
theory. The concept of ‘human dignity’ denotes the intrinsic
and superlative worth associated with human beings in virtue of
which we owe them utmost moral regard. Although dignity is a
foundational concept for African philosophy, there remains scant
literature in African philosophy dedicated to critical and
systematic reflection on the concept of human dignity. This volume
responds to this lacuna by bringing together chapters that offer
philosophical exposition, defense (or even rejection) and
application of the concept of human dignity in light of
intellectual resources in African cultures, such as ubuntu,
personhood, and serithi.
