Traditional ethical views have tended to define moral agency
from the patriarchal perspective. Seen and defined from this
perspective, it has been maintained that women are not
transmitters or teachers of good morals, let alone makers of
sound moral judgments. This biased stance on women and moral
agency is not only prevalent in Western traditional ethical
approaches. It is also found in the thinking and practice of
contemporary African society.
Contrary to traditional ethical views on moral agency, both Western and African, this work argues that African women are
good moral agents. They have always demonstrated moral
responsibility through participation in the overall life of
their society. To ensure maximum participation of all African
women in society, the dissertation suggests that a process of
conscientization for a liberative culture should become a priority for African society. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M. Th. (Theological Ethics)
