dc.description.abstractThis study presented a critical evaluation of Ubuntu as a source of moral formation in contemporary Africa. In African society, Ubuntu as a notion of African humanism has been and still is subject to much criticism. Although Ubuntu plays a role in African literature, philosophy, anthropology, ethics and theology, scholars on the continent and beyond find it to be a contested concept. The concept and approach to moral formation described in this study contributes uniquely to the already existing corpus of literature. The study explored African thinkers� perspectives of Ubuntu as a resource of moral formation and assessed its relevance in contemporary Africa.en_US
