This chapter responds to the question of the intelligibility of the notion of the good life considered as an African socio-anthropological worldview. It raises this question in the light of Africa’s colonial experience and the continuing psychological trauma that arise from this experience in a conflict-ridden, postcolonial world dominated by Western social, political, and economic structures. The chapter deploys the method of hermeneutics and affirms the continuing relevance of traditional African values to a contemporary African reality characterised by anthropological brokenness. This brokenness is exemplified by such problems as greed, radical individualism borrowed from the West and the attendant eclipsing of the pristine African cooperative spirit, religious intolerance, and armed conflict in contemporary Africa. The chapter asserts that brokennnes can be replaced by a wholeness guaranteed by a return to the age-old pattern of cooperation which is rooted in a religious view that regards God, human beings, and other entities as constituting an interconnected, self-healing and self-sustaining totality.
