Featuring leading scholars from philosophy and religious studies,
The Bloomsbury Research Handbook of Indian Ethics dispels the myth
that Indian thinkers and philosophers were uninterested in ethics.
This comprehensive research handbook traces Indian moral philosophy
through classical, scholastic Indian philosophy, pan-Indian
literature including the Epics, Ayurvedic medical ethics, as well
as recent, traditionalist and Neo-Hindu contributions. Contrary to
the usual myths about India (that Indians were too busy being
religious to care about ethics), moral theory constitutes the
paradigmatic differentia of formal Indian philosophy, and is
reflected richly in popular literature. Many of the papers make
this clear by an analytic explication that draws critical
comparisons and contrasts between classical Indian moral philosophy
and contemporary contributions to ethics. By critically addressing
ethics as a sub-discipline of philosophy and acknowledging the
mistaken marginalization of Indian moral philosophy, this handbook
reveals how Indian contributions can illuminate contemporary
philosophical research on ethics. Unlike previous approaches to
Indian ethics, this volume is organized in accordance with major
topics in moral philosophy. The volume contains an extended
introduction, exploring topics in moral semantics, the philosophy
of thought, (metaethical and normative) ethical theory, and the
politics of scholarship, which serve to show how the diversity of
Indian moral philosophy is a contribution to the discipline of
ethics. With an overview of Indian moral theory, and a glossary,
this is a valuable guide to understanding the past, present and
future research directions of a central component of Indian
philosophy.
