This book educates whilst also challenging the contemporary schools of
thought within philosophical and religious ethics. In addition, it
underlines the fact that the substance of ethics in general and
bioethics/healthcare ethics specifically, is much more expansive and
inclusive than is usually thought. Bioethics is a relatively new
academic discipline. However, ethics has existed informally since before
the time of Hippocrates. The indigenous culture of African peoples has
an ethical worldview which predates the western discourse. This
indigenous ethical worldview has been orally transmitted over centuries.
The earliest known written African text containing some concepts and
content of ethics is the “Declaration of Innocence” written in 1500
B.C., found in an Egyptian text. Ubuntu is an example of African culture
that presents an ethical worldview. This work interprets the culture of
Ubuntu to explain the contribution of a representative indigenous
African ethics to global bioethics. Many modern scholars have written
about the meaning of Ubuntu for African societies over centuries. Some
scholars have viewed Ubuntu as the greatest contribution of African
cultures to other world cultures. None of the scholars, however has
explored the culture of Ubuntu as providing a representative indigenous
ethics that can contribute to global bioethics as discussed in this
book.
