ABSTRACT
The purpose of this chapter is to explain the concept of ubuntu that will be used to evaluate the current arguments in the axiology of theism literature. I begin by explaining personhood accounts of ubuntu which focus on developing one's character through exercising other-regarding virtues. After briefly explaining cosmopolitan accounts of ubuntu, I turn to my preferred relational account of ubuntu as found in the work of Thaddeus Metz. According to Metz, an action is right if and only if it promotes solidarity with others in addition to helping to identify with others. I prefer this is account because as a theory of right action it will be easier to apply to the current arguments in the axiology of theism literature than personhood accounts.
