A Relational Moral Theory

African Ethics in and Beyond the Continent

Beschreibung

Thaddeus Metz draws on African philosophical traditions to provide a new answer to a perennial philosophical question: what do morally right actions have in common as distinct from wrong ones? The ethical theory that he offers in response focuses on harmonious or communal relationships between people.
