Reflections of the Impact of Umunthu/Ubuntu on My Upbringing: Moral Shock, Rediscovery of the African Worldview, Approaches to Ubuntu, Ubuntu Critique
Abstract
The idea of Ubuntu meaning humanness is contrasted with that of unyama meaning beastliness. Analytically, Ubuntu touches on integrity, wisdom, hard work or economic productivity, social solidarity as a people who are in relationship as constitutive of their identity as opposed to rugged individualism. This leads to a philosophy that is very different from that which has developed in the West. Therefore, the upbringing that was shaped by the author's mother and the communal ethos insisted on that which characterized Ubuntu.
