Buddhist Moral Philosophy
An Introduction
Synopsis
The first book of its kind, Buddhist Moral Philosophy: An Introduction introduces the reader to contemporary philosophical interpretations and analyses of Buddhist ethics. It begins with a survey of traditional Buddhist ethical thought and practice, mainly in the Pali Canon and early Mahayana schools, and an account of the emergence of Buddhist moral philosophy as a distinct discipline in the modern world. It then examines recent debates about karma, rebirth and nirvana, well-being, normative ethics, moral objectivity, moral psychology, and the issue of freedom, responsibility and determinism. The book also introduces the reader to philosophical discussions of topics in socially engaged Buddhism such as human rights, war and peace, and environmental ethics.

What Reviewers Are Saying
"This volume is insightful and engaging for anyone with a strong background in moral philosophy who is interested in how Buddhist ethics can be approached through a Western lens. Advanced students and scholars studying Buddhism will appreciate the analysis of how Western philosophical thought works to understand a tradition that does not fall cleanly within its methodologies. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through researchers/faculty."--N. A. Weiss, CHOICE
