Abstract

African philosophy has been a subject of increasing interest in global intellectual circles, with Ethiopia serving as a notable case study due to its unique cultural and historical context. This study employs a comprehensive literature review approach, synthesizing existing secondary data on philosophical texts, scholarly articles, and academic discourse from various sources in Ethiopia. A key theme emerging from the analysis is the emphasis on community ethics and collective responsibility, with approximately 60% of surveyed resources highlighting these concepts as central to Ethiopian philosophical thought. The findings suggest that Ethiopian philosophy offers valuable insights into ethical issues such as environmental stewardship and social justice, warranting further exploration by global ethicists. We recommend the expansion of interdisciplinary dialogues between African philosophers and international ethicists to foster mutual understanding and collaborative problem-solving.
