Ubuntu (filosofi)

Ubuntu (ùɓúntʼú | Zulu/Xhosa; uˈbʊntu) eller "uMunthu" (Chichewa) är en afrikansk etisk eller humanistisk filosofi som fokuserar på människors lojalitet och relation med varandra. Vissa anser att Ubuntu är en klassisk afrikansk filosofi eller världsåskådning medan andra påpekar att idén att Ubuntu är en filosofi eller världsbild som har utvecklats i skriftliga källor på senare år. Ordet har sitt ursprung i Bantuspråket från södra Afrika.
