On 10 May 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved to Ubuntu. The result of the discussion was not moved.

Tags should be accompanied, on the article's talk page, with an explanation of the perceived problem, and should also initiate a discussion on how to fix it. Otherwise, remove the tags.

Similar concepts arise amongst varied cultures, suggesting the philosophy of Ubuntu is recognised amongst diverse cultures due to this being a feature of human nature. It is similar to the word 'whanaungatanga' in New Zealand/Aotearoa Māori, and 'shimcheong' in Korean. (Drury, N. 2011. Wittgenstein and the tikanga of psychotherapy. New Zealand Journal of Psychology, 40 (2):16-24). The philosophy of ubuntu points to Segal's (1999) social brain, or Porges' (2009) social engagement system, or Henrich's (2016) collective brain, which all suggest an intuitive access to others. The northern theory accounts for why this has not been widely accepted in the social sciences (Connell, R. 2007. Southern theory: the global dynamics of knowledge in social science. Allen & Unwin.) {I would imagine there are other words out there similar to ubuntu, shimcheong, and whanaungatanga. I would suggest we harvest these}
