AFRICAN
PHILOSOPHY ETHICS
Onŕo/ogized
Ethics: Neiv Essays in African Meta-Ethics examines an often
neglected meta-ethical issue in African philosophical discourse: the extent to
which one's orientation of being, or idea of what-is
—
be it as an individual
or a group of persons
—
does, or should, determine one's concept of the good.
To what extent is ethics, or our idea of what is permissible or impermissible,
grounded on ideas of what fundamentally exists or what it means to be? Under
the editorship of Elvis Imafidon and John Ayotunde
Isola Bewaji,
this col¬
lection of essays, with some emphasis on an African philosophical context,
seeks to establish more firmly and vigorously whether there is an intrinsic link
between ontology and morality
—
that is, whether, and, if so how, the proper
norms for human actions can be explained and validated once we make lucid
ideas about metaphysical topics such as human nature, community, relation-
ality, and spirituality. The essays included in this volume focus rigorously on
ethical issues such as communalism, adultery, environmental ethics, and bio-
ethics with the primary aim of showing whether the link between such issues
and metaphysical beliefs is trivial or intrinsic.
The insights cultivated in this collection will be of great value to anyone working
in or studying African or
Africana
philosophy, ethics, or metaphysics.
