Development ethics is an area of applied ethics that examines the moral issues involved in global, social, and economic transformation. While it is a relatively new discipline, there have been numerous scholarly publications on it from Western perspectives. However, only a few studies that focused on development ethics from the African perspective. To address this gap, the book seeks to answer critical questions such as "What does development mean to Africans?", "How can we measure development?", "Who gets to decide?", and "What constitutes just development in Africa?" With contributions from African scholars from diverse backgrounds, the book covers various development themes such as Theories and approaches to development ethics in Africa, Environmental Ethics and African Development, Ethics, Politics and African Development, Migration and African development, Gender, Ethics and Socio-economic Development in Africa, Education, Ethics and African development. It is an essential resource for researchers, lecturers, and students interested in political philosophy and African culture studies. 410 0$aPhilosophy and Politics - Critical Explorations,$x2352-8389 ;$v27 606 $aPolitical science$xPhilosophy 606 $aEthnology$zAfrica 606 $aCulture 606 $aEthics 606 $aMoral development 606 $aSocial influence 606 $aPolitical Philosophy 606 $aAfrican Culture 606 $aMoral Philosophy and Applied Ethics 606 $aMoral Development 606 $aSocial Influence 615 0$aPolitical science$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aEthics. 615 0$aMoral development. 615 0$aSocial influence. 615 14$aPolitical Philosophy. 615 24$aAfrican Culture. 615 24$aMoral Philosophy and Applied Ethics. 615 24$aMoral Development. 615 24$aSocial Influence. 676 $a174.4 676 $a174.4 700 $aOkyere-Manu$b Beatrice$01380210 701 $aMorgan$b Stephen Nkansah$01380211 701 $aNwosimiri$b Ovett$01380212 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910736017603321 996 $aContemporary Development Ethics from an African Perspective$93421487 997 $aUNINA
