Description

This book explores the symbiotic relationship that exists between African spirituality and ethics.

Felix Murove discusses how these two concepts are entwined, and illustrates how they play a role in applied ethical issues.

He argues that the general understanding of spirituality in Africa stems from Christianity, which has had a negative impact on African indigenous spirituality.

The conceptual tools that run throughout the book are considerably Afro-centric, a methodological strategy which inevitably requires the reader to adopt some prior willingness to learn these Afro-centric concepts without easily resorting to western Christian and philosophical categories of thought.

The book advocates for an Afro-centric conceptualization of spirituality and ethics, and encourages the reader to adopt a more holistic approach to African spirituality.
