Stephen Onyango Ouma Libri

Focusing on Henry Odera Oruka's concept of Ethical Minimum, the book explores the notion that the ethical human minimum is a universal right, emphasizing the obligation of moral agents to assist the impoverished. It aims to analyze this concept as a foundation for human rights, arguing that recognizing these rights is essential to addressing societal inequality. The relationship between ethical minimum and sagacity is examined, presenting Oruka's theory as a universal approach to ensuring respect and protection of fundamental freedoms without discrimination.

Focusing on the concept of "invented Africa," the book critiques the narrative that African development depended on European intervention. It emphasizes the need for Africans to reclaim their self-autonomy and cultural identity, exploring ways to rise socio-economically rooted in their historical context. By challenging the notion of Africans as passive victims of imperialism, it aims to equip readers with a deeper understanding of African experiences and the complexities of their socio-political landscape.

Das Buch untersucht das Konzept des ethischen Minimums von Henry Odera Oruka, das als universelles und unveräußerliches Recht verstanden wird. Oruka postuliert, dass es die moralische Pflicht jedes Einzelnen ist, den Bedürftigen zu helfen. Die Studie analysiert, wie dieses Konzept die Grundlage für Menschenrechte bildet und als Ansatz zur Bekämpfung von Ungleichheit dient. Sie beleuchtet die Beziehung zwischen ethischem Minimum und Menschenrechten und zeigt, wie Orukas Theorie eine diskriminierungsfreie Integration von Grundfreiheiten fördern kann.
