    Odera Oruka and the Human Minimum: An African Philosophers Defence of Human Dignity and Environment considers the work of Odera Oruka (19441995)arguably one of the finest philosophers in Africaby analyzing his major practical contribution to philosophy from the practical point of view. Odera Oruka is well known for his sage philosophy, but his practical philosophy has received less attention. This book situates Oruka within philosophical discourses around issues of justice, human rights, ethical duty, ecology, humanism, and politics. A thread that ties these questions together is Orukas argument for the right to a human minimum, defined by three basic human needs: physical security, subsistence, and health care. Michael Kamau Mburu explores how these three taken together constitute the most basic and necessary (though not sufficient) right, and establishing this right is a means to ensuring human dignity, a condition for global justice. The book also expounds and applies some ethical values and philosophies from Africasuch as ubuntu or humannessto clarify, defend, and promote human dignity without jeopardizing the environment.
