In this book, Munyaradzi Felix Murove explores African traditional
ethical resources for African politics. Arguing that African ethics
is integral to African post-colonial political contentious
discourse, Murove invites the reader to reflect on various
problematic political issues in post-colonial Africa and how
African ethics has been applied in these situations. Starting with
a succinct discussion of the scope of African ethics, he discusses
how African ethical values have been applied by post-colonial
politicians in the reconstruction of their societies. Further,
Murove looks critically at the issue of African poverty and how the
ethic of regional integration and economic cooperation among
post-colonial African nation-states has been instrumental to
efforts aimed at overcoming the scourge of poverty. The main
question this book seeks to answer is: Are African traditional
ethical values a panacea to modern African political problems?
This is the first comprehensive volume on African ethics, centered
on Ubuntu and its relevance today. Important contemporary issues
are explored, such as African bioethics, business ethics,
traditional African attitudes to the environment, and the possible
development of a new form of democracy based on indigenous African
political systems. In a world that has become interconnected, this
anthology demonstrates that African ethics can make valuable
contributions to global ethics. It is not only African academics,
students, organizations, or those individuals committed to ethics
that are envisaged as the beneficiaries of this book, but all
humankind. A number of topics presented here were inspired by a
Shona proverb that says, Ndarira imwe hairiri (One brass wire
cannot produce a sound). The chorus of voices in African Ethics
demonstrates this proverbial truism.
