Philosophy Final Year Topic: Ubuntu and the Moral Evaluation of Restorative Justice

This Philosophy final year project examines what relational ethics contributes to the justification of restorative justice. It builds a critical philosophical argument through selected Ubuntu philosophical texts and published critiques of restorative approaches.

Why choose this project topic?

The problem of what relational ethics contributes to the justification of restorative justice offers a clear debate with competing reasons and possible objections. A limited set of primary readings and carefully explained cases helps you develop an independent argument rather than simply summarising philosophers.

Which conclusions about what relational ethics contributes to the justification of restorative justice are justified by critical examination of selected Ubuntu philosophical texts and published critiques of restorative approaches?

Choose the main philosophical interlocutors and a small set of cases, then narrow the argument about what relational ethics contributes to the justification of restorative justice.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Clarify the key concepts involved in what relational ethics contributes to the justification of restorative justice.
  2. 02Reconstruct the competing arguments in selected Ubuntu philosophical texts and published critiques of restorative approaches.
  3. 03Reconstruct relational duties and examine tensions among restoration, victim choice and proportional accountability.

A suggested research approach

Select accessible editions of selected Ubuntu philosophical texts and published critiques of restorative approaches and define the central terms before defending a position. Reconstruct relational duties and examine tensions among restoration, victim choice and proportional accountability. Make premises explicit, address a strong objection to the preferred account, and distinguish hypothetical illustrations from factual evidence.

What you will need

  • Lawful access to selected Ubuntu philosophical texts and published critiques of restorative approaches
  • An argument map addressing what relational ethics contributes to the justification of restorative justice
  • A supervisor-agreed philosophical framework and complete citation records

Keep your project scope clear

Ubuntu has diverse interpretations and cannot be equated with compulsory reconciliation.
