African Philosophical Foundations in Ethical Global Discussions
Abstract
African philosophy has a rich history that dates back centuries, influencing various aspects of life in Africa and beyond.

The approach adopted is conceptual rather than empirical. The analysis draws from existing literature on African philosophical thought and its applications across various fields including ethics, politics, and social justice. The theoretical framework underscores how African philosophical foundations can offer valuable perspectives on contemporary global ethical issues, emphasising the importance of contextualizing universal ethics within local cultural frameworks.
