Abstract(s)
A presente tese defende a existência de uma visão de mundo afro-austral – Ubuntu –, que engloba um conjunto de princípios ético-normativos de organização social, filosofia e estilo de
vida Ubu-ntu e de relação do ser humano com a comunidade, humanidade e a natureza, com
validade para constituir uma proposta reformadora que pode redefinir e reestruturar a atual concepção de “Direitos Humanos Universais” tornando-a ainda mais universal ao introduzir uma
nova concepção ecossistémica ou ecobiosófica de dignidade e personalidade humana. Desta
forma, se abriria o caminho para que, por via de um “diálogo global” mais inclusivo, igualitário
e multicultural, se respeite e valorize, em mesmo pé de igualdade, os contributos das concepções
de dignidade e personalidade humana das principais civilizações mundiais, incluindo aqui a
Ocidental e Bantu, por forma a garantir-se aquilo a que Kwame Anthony Appiah chamou de
“ética global”, regida por uma nova Declaração de Direitos Humanos mais efetivamente Universais, contribuindo, assim, para a construção de um mundo mais igualitário, “afropolitanista”
(Mebembe, 2013, 2015) e ecologicamente sustentável.
De igual modo, sustenta-se aqui que o reconhecimento expresso da validade reformadora dos
fundamentos ético-normativos Ubuntu e a sua tomada em consideração numa nova Declaração
de Direitos Humanos mais Universais, ajudaria os moçambicano-maputenses, em particular, e
os africanos, em geral, a ultrapassar as dificuldades de respeito, materialização e proteção efetiva dos atuais “Direitos Humanos Universais” na região Austral de África, ao integrá-los nas
ordens jurídicas locais, que passariam, assim, a ter uma maior organicidade com as sociedades
que regulam, conduzindo a uma maior identificação destas mesmas sociedades com as normas
que defendem os redefinidos “Direitos Humanos mais Universais”.
This thesis defends the existence of a Southern Africa worldview – Ubuntu –, which encompasses a set of ethical-normative principles of social organization, a Ubu-ntu philosophy and lifestyle, and the relationship between human beings and humanity and nature, with validity to constitute a reforming proposal that can redefine and restructure the current conception of “Universal Human Rights” making it even more universal by introducing a new ecosystemic or ecobiosophical conception of human personality. In this way, the way would be opened so that, through a more inclusive, egalitarian and multicultural "global dialogue" , respect and value, on the same footing of equality, the contributions of the conceptions of dignity and human personality of the main world civilizations, including Western and Bantu here, in order to guarantee what Kwame Anthony Appiah called a “global ethics” (Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs, 2012), ruled by a new Declaration of Human Rights that are more effectively Universal, thus contributing for the construction of a more egalitarian, “afropolitanist” (Mbembe, 2013, 2015) and ecologically sustainable world. Similarly, it is argued here that the express acknowledgement of the validity and take it into account in a new Declaration of “more Universal Human Rights” would help the Mozambicanmaputenses to overcome the difficulties of respect, materialization and effective protection of the “most Universal Human Rights” in the Southern region of Africa, by integrating them into local legal orders, which would, therefore, become more organic with the societies they attempt to regulate, leading to greater identification of these same societies with the norms that defend the redefined “more Universal Human Rights”.
