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. 606 $aPhilosophy, Modern 606 $aEthnology$zAfrica 606 $aCulture 606 $aAfrican literature 606 $aPhilosophical Traditions 606 $aAfrican Culture 606 $aAfrican Literature 615 0$aPhilosophy, Modern. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aAfrican literature. 615 14$aPhilosophical Traditions. 615 24$aAfrican Culture. 615 24$aAfrican Literature. 676 $a128 676 $a199.6 700 $aMolefe$b Motsamai$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0909046 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337691403321 996 $aAn African Philosophy of Personhood, Morality, and Politics$92033370 997 $aUNINA
