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 Mah y na 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."
