Valuing the emergence of Ubuntu 1 philosophy

Issue Date

1-2010

Abstract

The article aims to support the notion of philosophy emerging from culture; a notion that paves the way for the emergence of ubuntu as a philosophy from an African culture. Understanding this emergence is vital in the manner a particular human community relates with itself and other communities worldwide. Moreover, the idea of ubuntu has become a philosophy that is in dialogue with culture. Hence, from the writer's punto de vista, this stance further strengthens the argument affirming the value of African culture from which African philosophy has certainly emerged.
