Resumen

Ese artículo discute distintos usos del ubuntu. Particularmente, debate las posibilidades del concepto convertirse en una filosofía moral. Se trata de una discusión fuerte especialmente en la academia sudafricana, y básicamente se divide entre los entusiastas del ubuntu como posibilidad de rescatar un sentimiento de comunidad perdido; y sus detractores, que lo entienden como incompatible con la modernidad.
