Abstract
African philosophy has historically contributed to global ethical debates through its unique ontological frameworks, which explore the nature of existence and morality. The approach will be an ontological analysis, examining how African ethical thought addresses fundamental questions about reality and morality from indigenous perspectives. This framework underscores the importance of integrating diverse philosophical traditions in contemporary ethical discussions to foster a more inclusive understanding of morality. Scholars should consider incorporating African ontological perspectives into their research methods when addressing issues of global ethics, particularly in contexts such as Kenya.
