Creator Meiring, Jacob J.S.
 
Subject Systematic theology; Theological antrhopology Ubuntu;Theological anthropology as embodied sensing; law and theology; embodiment ; black bodies, apartheid; lived body, lived experience; language; the "more than"
Description The author asks whether the notion of ubuntu truly exists within contemporary South African society and how the experiencing of South Africans’ embodiment can be connected to ubuntu – especially amongst black people. The notion of ubuntu is briefly explored within law and theology. The author has recently proposed a model for a contemporary theological anthropology as ‘embodied sensing’ which functions within the intimate relationship of the lived body, experiencing in a concrete life-world, language, and the ‘more than’. It is from this perspective that the notion of ubuntu is explored.
