Abstract

A person is not independent, perfect and self-sufficient. A person in the context of society and culture should appreciates, values the good of an action, chooses it over its alternatives and eventually may bring it to actualization. However, in our current era, there is now a sense of pending disaster, the rootlessness of the human person, which points to the decadence of moral culture. Moral decadence within societies and culture has led this research to appraisal of the concepts and linkage between person, moral culture and social freedom. This research argues that there is an urgent need to grasp with new insight the dignity of the person, to recoil from oppression and to search for ways to respond to the moral dilemmas among human cultures and societies. This calls for a moral imperative that can survey the values of human culture so that the profoundly humane achievements and commitments of people might be engaged and promoted. This work employs the philosophical tools of critical analysis in carrying out this research
