Udja – Maat viewed as a Social Science? Do you mean as part of the educational curriculum? Then you are really talking about having political and economic power – the power to define an educational curriculum. Maulana Karenga has written a book “Maat – The Moral Ideal in Ancient Egypt – A Study in Classical African Ethics, 2006. I am not sure if he has a specific class on Maat or just teaches it as part of another course. But as you mentioned in you response society has degraded too much to consider Maat as a Social Science. But the scholars such as yourself have made a tremendous effort to establish it as moral ideal in spite of the base aspect of the human personality …DUA!
