Abstract
Embedded in the thought of Whitehead is an extremely interesting but relatively neglected ethic which has relevance to current attempts to reflect creatively on the ethical dimension of human existence both in South Africa and the wider world. This paper notes the main features of the context in which such reflection is taking place, and then proceeds to give an account of process ethics. Thereafter it offers a critical discussion whose main conclusion is that process ethics has more to commend it than other approaches to ethics.
Die filosofie van Whitehead sluit in 'n interessante maar meestal onbekende hantering van die etiese sy van ons bestaan, veral met die oog op huidige pogings om opnunt daaroor te besin. What volg neem eerstens die konteks in beslag. Daarna volg die sentrale gedeelte van die artikel wat Whitehead se etiese idees bespreek. Ter afronding word 'n kritiese besprekeing van daardie idees aangebied.
