SynopsisIs there a distinctive African perspective on right and wrong? Do ethical frameworks differ across cultures? Is there such a thing as a common global ethic? Do traditional African ethical views have anything to contribute to this global ethic? Can traditional African ethics survive in a world increasingly dominated by a single global economy? The contributors to this book show that there are distinctive common strands in African ethical views, although these need to be examined and challenged. They apply these strands to very different contexts: the worlds of business, medicine, government, political change, and gender relationships. The book reveals that despite their rootedness in a past culture, African ethics are in a continuous state of development and change, and have a considerable contribution to make to an emerging global ethic. This book demands that the African voice is heard., Shows that there are common strands in African ethical views, which apply to very different contexts: the worlds of business, medicine, government, political change and gender relationships. This work reveals that despite their rootedness in a past culture, African ethics are in a continuous state of development and change.
