Representing a spectrum of intellectual concerns and methodological commitments in religious ethics, the contributors to this focus issue consider and assess the advantages and disadvantages of the shift in recent comparative religious ethics away from a rootedness in moral theory toward a model that privileges the ethnography of moral worlds. In their own way, all of the contributors think through and emphasize the meaning, importance, and place of normativity in recent comparative religious ethics.

This chapter discusses the epistemology of African sociological knowledge. It emphasizes the legitimacy of alternative sociological knowledge practices and discusses the possibility of their global character. African sociological knowledge deals with the epistemic import of the relationship between individuals and social practices in African cultures, the ideas that are generated, and how these ideas inform the beliefs and understanding of reality among Africans. As an aspect of African communitarian epistemology, African sociological knowledge is understood as the product of socially situated activities and practices, community social organization, and social institutions. In light of the universalization of Western epistemic practices as evaluative paradigms for knowledge and truth, the chapter discusses the epistemicide of African indigenous knowledge systems. It argues that the pluralistic nature of our world allows for fluid authenticity in knowledge inquiry and advocates a knowledge democracy that involves a polycentric epistemology.
