The question needs to be more specific. There isn't only one kind of African ethics and there isn't only one kind of Wertern ethics. There is diversity within both.

Esther Carol Dogbe re: [recent book on Christian Ethics]
The topic is vast, and your request is a bit open-ended. What aspect or focus are you looking for? Here are three recent publications I can suggest:
  1. De La Torre, M. (2023). Doing Christian ethics from the margins. Orbis Books.
  2. Gregory, D. S. (2023). Christian Ethics. BoD–Books on Demand.
  3. Van Gerwen, J. (2022). Origins of Christian ethics. Encyclopedia of Religious Ethics, 529-537. http://ndl.ethernet.edu.et/bitstream/123456789/10877/1/14.pdf.pdf#page=224
Earlier, but valuable:
  1. Friesen, C. J. (2019). Christian ethics: an introduction to biblical moral reasoning: by Wayne Grudem, Wheaton, Crossway, 2018, 1296 pp., ISBN 9781433549656.

I find it odd, for example, when I hear in the news that a parent forgives someone who intentionally caused severe injuries to their child. It seems to me that only the child has the right to forgive in such a situation.
Addendum: Let me also add for consideration the more extreme case of the parent or spouse of a murder victim forgiving the murderer. Although the state may have the right to pardon the perpetrator at some point, that is different from forgiveness, and it seems to me that no one has the right to forgive the perpetrator for the murder itself. To suggest otherwise would be tantamount to regarding the victim as property of which one has been deprived. It would be tantamount to forgiving someone for stealing and totalling your car.
Relevant answer
Answer
There are some unpardonable acts ... such as murder, administrative and financial corruption ... and many others ... Sometimes forgiveness of some people's bad deeds leads to their persistence in corruption ... It is safe to punish an offense of etiquette ..

Is aesthetics intrinsically linked with objects of art? Or maybe there is some hidden aesthetics in an object of art that people of a certain era do not perceive?
Relevant answer
Answer
Of course not. The main object of aesthetics is art. A person aesthetically analyzes what affects all his feelings. But the criteria for accepting works of art from each period will be different, because the taste of today's youth is very different from the taste of young people 50 years ago.

I don't. For example, the standard suggests taking into account buddhism, ubuntu and shinto traditions, but it happily, or maybe cruelly, leaves out abrahamic ethics, and outrageously enough, it leaves out Christian ethics. And it even recommends that "individuals", not collegiate organisms, have access to codifications for normative reasons.
Relevant answer
No, Alex: your point of view is creditable.
  • asked a question related to Christian Ethics
Question
15 answers
Sometimes Christian religion is seen as causation to the degradation of the environment. The domination mandate from Genesis is in particular mentioned ('subdue the environment'). Other Christian ethics concentrate more on preserving god's creation. Does any of such principles play a role, or does ethics cannot provide any direction of how to act?
Relevant answer
Answer
The citing of the Genesis narrative as the domination mandate is no longer tenable, because what drives the world is economics not religion. To sustain the Genesis narrative presumptuously means that Christians are the only inhabitants of the world. After all the Platonic Dualism, which marked the beginning of Western Philosophy predates Christian teachings in the Bible. Both Socrates and Plato tended to deemphasize our natural environment as opposed to the world of ideas. Christian theology tends to thrive on dualism: heaven and earth, hell and heaven, saved and unsaved, but they have not used that theology to destroy or ravage the earth wantonly. If for anything, major industrialists in the world are not Christians and Christians are not known to be heavily involved in nuclear development. Christian environmental ethics should rather use a reconciliatory methodology to call for a global redemptive response to the environmental chaos plaguing us.

William Lane Craig argues that, without God, moral values would only be subjective, and there would be no ultimate moral accountability.
Relevant answer
Answer
This is a type 4 question. In order to underpin objective moral values and duties, god would have to exist objectively. However, gods only exist as beliefs. Hence, there is nothing objective about the moral values that are based upon the supposed wishes of a god whose existence is in principle unprovable.
To state that anything is a proven reality is incomplete: a thing can be a proven reality to a particular person, but this does not give it objective existence. Pre-Newtonian gravity was a proven reality to everyone (objects tended to move towards their natural resting place), but this did not mean that this notion of gravity had an objective existence, or even that it was proven by the fact that objects fell downwards.
And now, back to research…

Dear prof. Dr. Dunaetz!
Thank you very much for these interesting and precise indications.
As a good number of missionary pastors has been trained at SMU or Candler, and the missionary [female] educators at Vanderbilt, some of the text may be of great help.
My basic thesis is that Social Gospel Influence in the South are more present than research is awared of.

Eastern zen-inspired world-views depart from the lived (experientially, cognitively, embodied and phenomenologically) assumption that everything is connected to everything else. On an fundamental level there is consequently no difference between me and you. What does this entail for an ethics to be developed?
Relevant answer
Answer
The common good is accomplished when you respect the other as yourself. This is a very basic principle that is on the basis of both western and eastern ethics, whether you call it ethics or dharma. The thing is that we can find at the root of all moral discipline some mental purification technique. And this is the point where eastern cultures are more advanced and can teach western cultures specific techniques and practices that lead to a higher awareness in every daily action. With the space created by this discipline and awareness, we shed light on what is ethical or what is dharma, he duty of each one of us. Note that the path chosen, and its truth, is no better or worse than another, but it is just a choice, according to one's needs and the environment in which one lives.
