Abstract

African philosophy in Ghana has a rich history of contributions to ethical debates, reflecting its unique cultural context and philosophical traditions. Qualitative research methods were employed, including semi-structured interviews with philosophers and ethicists, as well as an examination of philosophical texts from various schools of thought. A notable theme emerging from the analysis is the emphasis on communal responsibility and intergenerational ethics in contemporary discussions, reflecting a deep-rooted tradition in Ghanaian philosophy. The study reveals that African philosophy in Ghana offers valuable insights for contemporary ethical debates, particularly regarding community welfare and moral obligations. Further research should explore the practical applications of these philosophical ideas within modern Ghanaian society to enhance societal well-being.
