This book explores the argument to reconsider the idea of a
university in light of the African ethic of ubuntu; literally,
human dignity and interdependence. The book discusses, through the
context of higher education discourse of philosophy and comparative
education, how global universities have evolved into higher
educational institutions concerned with knowledge (re)production
for various end purposes that range from individual autonomy, to
public accountability, to serving the interests of the economy and
markets. The question can legitimately be asked: Is an ubuntu
university different from an entrepreneurial university, thinking
university, and ecological university? While these different
understandings of a university accentuate both the epistemological
and moral imperatives in relation to itself and the societies in
which they manifest, it is through the ubuntu university that
emotivism in the forms of dignity and humaneness will enhance a
university's capacity for autonomy, responsibility, and
criticality. This book would be of academic interest to university
educators and students in philosophy of education, comparative
education, and cultural studies.
