Umnotho Theory

Umnotho Theory proposes a non-racial world with respect for cultural diversity organized by a philosophy originating in Africa (where indeed as Dani Nadubere and others have shown European philosophy also originated). It is an African contribution to all of humankind. It is an African contribution to all of humankind. Umnotho Theory with its roots in a particular set of cultures and in the history of a particular geographical area is an example of a new better and more believable form of humanism is frankly a product of African culture and history. It is not (as the Enlightenment was) the product of a particular culture and history palming itself off as universal. It is an example of a new kind of humanism-more believable. The people who follow Umnotho Theory’s good example need not necessarily be Africans. They can construct economic humanisms from the cultures and histories of other places and peoples. It is liberating for everybody.
