In this book, originally published in 1959, the author believes
that general moral concepts embody conceptions of standards in
accordance with which particular moral judgments proceed and these
may become objects of theoretical understanding and knowledge - and
hence be treated as facts in some context of a moral nature - in an
ethical enquiry that is philosophical in character. The book
clarifies the implications of conceptions which are used when
aspects of our experiences are evaluated from a distinctive point
of view, namely that of morality. It examines some of the theories
which suggest that the function of ethical philosophy is something
quite other than what traditional philosophers believed it to be,
namely by asking what goodness or justice is.
Originally published in 1977, The Hindu Religious Tradition
provides a detailed exploration into the different doctrines
regarding the nature of Religious Reality and the many paths of
search for this Reality within the Hindu religion. The book
discusses these differing doctrines from the point of view of their
philosophical significance and their use in man’s search for the
divine in consideration of the traditional teaching that the divine
is already in man and can be realised in direct experience. It
provides a comprehensive account of this tradition through
considering all aspects that are integral to it, and highlights
that the profundity of this tradition lies in that it cannot be
limited to the requirements of any one form of conceiving the
divine. The Hindu Religious Tradition will appeal to those with an
interest in Hinduism, religious philosophy, and theology.
