This study explores Ghanaian perspectives on African philosophy and its relevance to global ethical debates. The study employed ethnographic methods including participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis among various stakeholders in Ghanaian society. Data were analysed using thematic content analysis. Participants identified the importance of Ubuntu (a core concept in African philosophy) as a unifying principle for ethical decision-making across diverse social contexts in Ghana. African philosophy offers valuable insights for addressing global ethical challenges, particularly through its emphasis on communal ethics and interdependence. Further research should explore how African philosophical ideas can be integrated into existing educational curricula to promote a more inclusive understanding of ethics globally.
