The Roots of Our Humanity: Embracing the Spirit of Unbuntu
Episode 15: The Roots of our Humanity: Embracing the Spirit of Unbuntu
In this week’s episode, we’re exploring another gem that comes from the birthplace of the first modern human: Mother Africa.
Even if you don’t personally identify with Africa as your mother, in truth, we are all descendants of the first modern human, homo erectus, whose origins are traced to Africa.
How fitting and appropriate that the country where homo erectus was first identified is also the birthplace of the philosophy that points the way toward a sustainable future for us, its offspring.
This week’s conversation is about the philosophy called “Ubuntu,” which translated means “I am what I am, because of who we all are.” It has its origins in the Bantu languages of southern Africa.
The philosophy of Unbuntu is a way of seeing the world and all its inhabitants that, if adopted by a critical mass of human beings, would have a major impact in our ability to work together and ultimately shift the context of what it means to be a human being living on Planet Earth in the 21st century.
Join me as we dive into this philosophy which represents the context of #TheNewBeyond.
