Ethics and Time attempts to locate ethical thinking within the
response to the questions raised by temporal orientation. Time is
the matrix and Moloch of social life and, for the purpose of this
book, the starting point for ethical reflection. Nimi Wariboko
boldly attempts to reconceptualize temporal orientation and begin a
new discussion of time and ethics, using the creative synthesis of
ethology, political philosophy, sociological, and intercultural
perspectives. Most academic discourse contextualizes temporal
orientation in terms of either times of origin and time preference.
Wariboko identifies a third option, developing the theory and
methodology that render it an object of ethical analysis and
liberatory thought. He suggests that temporal orientation is the
production of new temporalities that allow humans to manifest their
potentialities and creatively resist obstacles that impede their
thriving. Wariboko liberates the notion and habit of temporal
orientation from excessive concern with conservatism and
utilitarianism, showing how ethicists can use the theory of
temporal orientation to question all present temporal conditions in
the name of freedom.
