| Title | Ubuntu perspective on ecotheology towards environmental justice | |
| Creator | Mpetsheni, Lungile | |
| Description | Adherence to Ubuntu, which anchors on interconnectedness, interdependence, conviviality and sacrosanctity of life, can make a significant and positive contribution to environmental justice. As Ubuntu is about belonging, ‘I belong therefore I am’, human beings [abantu] would have a sense of belonging to, interdependence and interconnectedness with the environment and, therefore, do everything to conserve nature.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: It would be enforced by a sense of knowing and appreciating that human beings cannot survive without the rest of creation, whereas the rest of nature can survive without humans. So, human should stop behaving as if everything is about them and co-exist harmoniously with the rest of creation. | |
