The Palgrave Handbook of African Social Ethics Summary

The Palgrave Handbook of African Social Ethics by Nimi Wariboko

This Handbook provides a robust collection of vibrant discourses on African social ethics and ethical practices.It focuses on how the ethical thoughts of Africans are forged within the context of everyday life, and how in turn ethical and philosophical thoughts inform day-to-day living. The essays frame ethics as a historical phenomenon best examined as a historical movement, the dynamic ethos of a people, rather than as a theoretical construct. It thereby offers a bold, incisive, and fresh interpretation of Africas ethical life and thought.
