Abstract
The ubuntu philosophy of Africa can make a significant contribution to the requisite theory of ethical global management, because it correctly understands that we are truly human only in community with other persons. Moreover, since all human persons share the same human nature, we find substantial agreement between traditional African and traditional non-African philosophy. Within the limitations of this paper, two other philosophical traditions will be considered briefly, the Confucian tradition of Asia and the Platonic-Aristotelian tradition of Europe.
