Striking a Balance: A Primer in Traditional Asian Values offers a
lucid, thoughtful, and thoroughly engaging review of the major
ethical teachings in the dominant Asian traditions. Michael C.
Brannigan applies his extensive background and scholarship to craft
a concise yet comprehensive introduction to Asian ethics covering
the long-standing traditions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Zen Buddhism,
Taoism, and Confucianism. He does this through the skillful use of
narratives from classical and contemporary Asian literature.
Moreover, he demonstrates that, despite differences, these
traditions share a unifying theme in their principal ethical
teachings - cultivating balance is the fundamental building block
for inner harmony, moral activity, and a just society. Through
historical overview and discussion of essential ethical themes,
Striking Balance presents the rich texture of traditional Asian
moral teachings in ways that are appealing, instructive, and
enlightening. The work presupposes no prior knowledge of ethics or
of Asian traditions and is ideal for all who are interested in
learning more about Asian cultures and moral teachings. It is also
an invaluable text for students at the introductory as well as
upper levels in ethics, Asian studies, philosophy, religion, and
humanities.
