It is a philosophical exposition that pursues the ethical and political consequences of the normative idea of personhood as a robust or even foundational ethical category. Personhood refers to the moral achievements of the moral agent usually captured in terms of a virtuous character, which have consequences for both morality and politics. The aim is not to argue for the plausibility of the ethical and political consequences of the idea of personhood. Rather, the book showcases some of the moral-political content and consequences of the account it presents.Philosophy, ModernEthnologyAfricaCultureAfrican literaturePhilosophical TraditionsAfrican CultureAfrican LiteraturePhilosophy, Modern.EthnologyCulture.African literature.Philosophical Traditions.African Culture.African Literature.128199.6Molefe Motsamaiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut909046BOOK9910337691403321An African Philosophy of Personhood, Morality, and Politics2033370UNINA
