Wiredu on the Humanistic Orientation of Akan Morality.This book is a contribution to African philosophy, by philosophers focusing specifically on the concept of human dignity in ethical theory. The concept of ‘human dignity’ denotes the intrinsic and superlative worth associated with human beings in virtue of which we owe them utmost moral regard. Although dignity is a foundational concept for African philosophy, there remains scant literature in African philosophy dedicated to critical and systematic reflection on the concept of human dignity. This volume responds to this lacuna by bringing together chapters that offer philosophical exposition, defense (or even rejection) and application of the concept of human dignity in light of intellectual resources in African cultures, such as ubuntu, personhood, and serithi.Philosophy, AfricanEthicsAfrican PhilosophyMoral Philosophy and Applied EthicsPhilosophy, African.Ethics.African Philosophy.Moral Philosophy and Applied Ethics.179.9179.9Molefe Motsamai909046Allsobrook Christopher1438746MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910760264703321Human Dignity in an African Context3600381UNINA
