Desmond Tutu champions Ubuntu, an African philosophy that highlights interconnectedness. He asserts that humanity is shaped through relationships: “A person is a person through other persons.” Ubuntu belongs to ethics and social philosophy, contrasting Western individualism by focusing on community and the collective nature of human existence.
“A person is a person through other persons; you can’t be human in isolation; you are human only in relationships.”
