Abstract:

Ubuntu is an African worldview that often shapes policy and social ethos; however, its distinct meaning remains unclear due to primarily philosophical discussions. This study seeks to define and measure Ubuntu's dimensions operationally and quantitatively using psychometric literature. Limited conceptual clarity has hampered research on Ubuntu thus far. This study aims to define Ubuntu, considering the materialisation of the concept and its components when measured, and to provide a usable measurement tool to advance research. A comprehensive review of Ubuntu measurement tools was conducted, f

Abstract:

This article takes a keen look on how capitalism has impacted the ethos of Ubuntu across Africa. It reveals how economic strife has strained Ubuntu’s core tenets of communal well-being. The Ubuntu philosophy, built on collective welfare and human interconnectedness, is at loggerheads with capitalism’s focus on individual success and profit. This tension has sparked cultural and social unrest within African societies. Globalization has exacerbated this tension, with the inducement of Western values that prize individualism. The ubiquitous media blitz and consumer culture that have become mainst

Ubuntu is an indigenous African philosophy that promotes collectivism, solidarity and mutual interdependence as being vital for the majority welfare. In this paper, it is used to discuss the findings from a qualitative study of how older people living with HIV (OPLHIV) in Korogwe, Tanzania use help groups for informal social support, to battle their daily challenges as a result of HIV and ageing in a rural context. Interviews with 13 OPLHIV showed that there are voluntarily formed groups and arranged groups. We find that voluntarily organised groups seem to build on, and benefit from Ubuntu va

Academic discourse on ubuntu, both in South Africa and Zimbabwe, coincided with the arrival of freedom in these countries. Ubuntu’s revival sought to show that there was an African alternative to the oppressive regimes that had cruelly governed both countries. This alternative was pronounced as offering a grounded beginning of the postcolonial society that would be able to humanize the African through resuscitating traditional values. These values would speak to how the African was supposed to be; ontologically, ethically, and politically. The hope was that the social conditions would, in line

These principles underpin statutory frameworks, anti-evasion measures, and judicial interpretations. In contrast, the African philosophy of Ubuntu emphasizing community solidarity

Abstract:

Many postcolonial African states have experienced violent conflicts, prompting the quest for viable approaches to conflict resolution and peace-building. Certain groups’ desire to control power and resources at the expense of others lies at the heart of the racism, civil wars, armed insurrections, terrorism, ethnic conflict, genocide, xenophobia, and intracommunity and domestic conflict prevalent in Africa, particularly in countries that experienced prolonged foreign domination. The quest for peace and security led to the resurgence of Ubuntu, an African humanist ideology, as an indigenous app

From text: Leonhard Praeg’s book, A report on Ubuntu treats the question of “What is Ubuntu?” in a unique and illuminating fashion. The book begins with an approach that repositions Ubuntu by drawing a crucial distinction between what we mean when we ask the question “What is Ubuntu?”, and what we are doing when we ask this question; Praeg shifts his focus to the latter. This crucial distinction escapes the gaze of many scholars of Ubuntu, and this book makes this gaze the basis of the entire discussion.

I consider the concept of Ubuntu as an African notion for education, in the same way that some Europeans describe bildung as education, and ta’dib, for some Muslims, means education. Hence, in this article, I firstly analyse the concept Ubuntu. Secondly, I show how Ubuntu relates to at leas

This contribution recognises different areas of Himonga’s scholarship, particularly her work on the recognition of customary marriages, ubuntu and dispute resolution. In bringing this work together, I suggest that her research on ubuntu – translated into the context of litigation – might provide insights on customary marriage recognition in ways that have not yet been properly explored. This insight is that the way in which legal practitioners have displayed ubuntu (or not) in litigating customary marriage disputes materially affects the ability of the courts to recognise living customary law.

Ubuntu promotes the caring spirit of humanity. In the presence of Ubuntu, the growing rate of teachers' absenteeism in their duty posts is alarming across schools and subject lines. Social media platforms promote continuous presence and limiting physical presence. At the same time, Ubuntu promotes caring for one another irrespective of gender, age, race, status, background, and many more. Notwithstanding the benefits attached to African philosophy, Ubuntu, and social media, teachers' presence in schools keeps dropping physically and virtually. This study used secondary data in seeking to under

Resumo: O objetivo deste estudo é analisar a noção do Ubuntu como contribuição para pensar a democracia, especialmente a crise que esta enfrenta, no Brasil, da atual realidade histórica de intolerância, discriminação racial, exclusão social e desumanização. Para isso, levanta-se a seguinte questão: pode a África contribuir para o pensamento da democracia, pela sua filosofia de vida expressa em Ubuntu?

Abstract:

Xenophobic attacks in South Africa have put to question the authenticity and veracity of Ubuntu philosophy. Remarkably, Ubuntu as a normative philosophy, promotes and conveys the openness and availability of the individuals for the benefits of others, especially in the paradigm of “I” and “others.” This philosophy unequivocally presents an African world view of care for others, the affirmation of the existence of others and the participation of others. Altruism, which is the western version of Ubuntu, encourages show of compassion, generosity, care and living with others. Yet, the resurgence o

Abstract:

Abuse is an ever-present and growing reality on the continent of Africa, even within the church. The Church should be a place of healing and belonging. So the Church must actively protect the vulnerable and relieve them of the shame and burdens placed on them by abuse. The Church must also hold abusers accountable and call them to repentance. When interpreted biblically and theologically, the traditional values of African people reflected in the philosophy of ubuntu can empower the Church to accomplish this task. Ubuntu, when practiced without exceptions, can enhance and deepen the Church’s th

Abstract:

AbstractThe article examines the realization of the right to health through the African concept of ubuntu. It attempts to show that ubuntu plays or ought to play a significant role in the realization of the right to health. This argument is advanced by identifying the attributes of ubuntu relevant to the implementation of the right to health and then applying these attributes to practical scenarios to operationalize the right to health. South Africa is used as a special point of reference because of the jurisprudence on ubuntu that has emerged there since 1994.

Abstract:

Culture significantly influences corporate social responsibility (CSR) behaviours and business ethics in Africa. In that context, various claims exist about how Ubuntu ethics can also serve as a practicable theory to guide CSR actions. In line with such claims, this study critically interrogated the practicability of utilising an Ubuntu-based approach to guide CSR actions among African businesses. It drew perspectives from published theoretical and empirical literature focusing on Ubuntu as a CSR construct. In conclusion, based on the analysed views, the article argues that although the Ubuntu

Abstract:

In recent years, there has been a renewed call to raise in-service teachers' awareness of incorporating Ubuntu principles into teaching environmental education in South Africa. This call has become urgent due to the increasing impact of climate change, particularly the devastating effects of flooding in Cape Town and extreme weather conditions experienced across the country. Grounded in critical pedagogy theory, this study seeks to enhance in-service teachers' understanding of Ubuntu values in the context of environmental education.

Abstract:

Purpose: The concept of Ubuntu philosophy, which emphasizes the interconnectedness of humanity and the importance of communal relationships, has gained attention in various fields, including community development. The Sustainable Development Report 2019 points out that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) might not be achieved, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. However, there is a gap in the literature on how Ubuntu philosophy has been applied in practice in community development initiatives. The extent to which Ubuntu philosophy has been applied in community development initiatives in di
