With over 520 million followers, Buddhism is now the world's fourth
largest religion. Over the last seventy years or so there has been
a growing interest in Buddhism, and it continues to capture the
imagination of many in the West, who see it as either an
alternative or a supplement to their own religious beliefs. For
complex cultural and historical reasons, ethics has not received as
much attention in traditional Buddhist thought as it has in the
West. In this Very Short Introduction, Damien Keown explores how
Buddhism approaches a range of moral issues of our age, including
our relationship with our environment, our treatment of animals,
and our stance on abortion, on sexuality and gender, on violence
and war. This new edition also includes a discussion of the ethical
challenges posed by cutting-edge developments in science and
biomedical technologies, including neuroscience, artificial
intelligence, transhumanism, and gene editing. ABOUT THE SERIES:
The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press
contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These
pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new
subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis,
perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and
challenging topics highly readable.
