{"product_id":"indian-ethics-classical-traditions-and-contemporary-challenges-volume-i-9781138062696","title":"Indian Ethics: Classical Traditions and Contemporary Challenges: Volume I","description":"Indian ethics is one of the great traditions of moral thought in world philosophy whose insights have influenced thinkers in early Greece, Europe, Asia, and the New World. This is the first systematic study of the spectrum of moral reflections from India, engaging a critical cross-cultural perspective. The volume explores the scope and limits of Indian ethical thinking, reflecting on the interpretation and application of its teachings and practices in the contemporary context. Thirty-five chapters chart orthodox and heterodox debates, from early classical Hindu texts to Buddhist, Jaina, Yoga, and Gandhian ethics. The range of issues include: life-values and virtues, karma and dharma, evil and suffering, renunciation and enlightenment; and extends to questions of human rights and justice, ecology and animal ethics, gender and bioethical concerns. Ramifications for rethinking ethics in a postmodern and global era are also explored. Indian Ethics offers an invaluable resource for researchers in philosophy, religion, human sciences and cultural studies, and to those interested in South Asian responses to moral dilemmas in the postcolonial era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Purushottama Bilimoria\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/26\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.91d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138062696\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePurushottama Bilimoria is Associate Professor of Philosophy and Comparative Studies at Deakin University, Visiting Professor SUNY, Stony Brook, and Columbia University New York, an Editor-in-Chief of Sophia, and Senior Fellow at University of Melbourne, Australia. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoseph Prabhu is Professor of Philosophy at California State University, Los Angeles, USA, and current President-Elect of the Society for Asian and Comparative Philosophy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRenuka Sharma is formerly of the University of Melbourne, Australia and was a medical and psychoanalytic practitioner, feminist philosopher, and social activist in Australia and India.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44067532046451,"sku":"9.78114E+12","price":113.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_b1fe9ba4-5ebb-4364-a58a-d5c82dca3117.jpg?v=1762609916","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/indian-ethics-classical-traditions-and-contemporary-challenges-volume-i-9781138062696","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
