Ubuntu ethics

Ubuntu ethics, rooted in African philosophy, posits that personhood is fundamentally relational—"I am because we are"—meaning justice and morality center on community healing and interdependence rather than individual rights or punishment. This framework offers a radical alternative to Western justice systems built on isolation and retribution.
