Patrick Giddy argues that the philosophical tradition associated with Aristotle  - re-expressed in contemporary fashion by Lonergan (d. 1984) and MacIntyre (d. 2025) -  is in tune with African traditional philosophy, and can be applied to various areas of ethics and to rethinking the university curriculum.

Patrick Giddy taught philosophy at the University of Lesotho before joining the University of KwaZulu-Natal, where he is currently a senior research associate. He is the editor of the collection of theological essays, The Christian God, collected essays by Augustine Shutte.
