Written by one of the world's leading scholars of African philosophy, the book first argues that the focus on \u003ci\u003eumuntu \u003c\/i\u003e(or, a person) in Ubuntu ethics as intrinsically valuable makes ethical humanism and human dignity vitally important. The book then goes on to consider the role of virtue ethics in driving an ideal of moral perfectionism. This, in turn, provides the basis for what a good society should be: a needs-based political theory. Providing an important guide through Ubuntu ethics as a moral system constructed in terms of moral perfectionism, it will be an important read for researchers of African philosophy, and of the philosophy of virtue ethics and moral perfectionism more generally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Motsamai Molefe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032846348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032846347\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 98\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.31d","brand":"Motsamai Molefe","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46293097545983,"sku":"9781032846347","price":66.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_727d9121-5857-475a-95bb-c41297294299.jpg?v=1730212116","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ubuntu-ethics-motsamai-molefe-9781032846347","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
