Ethics and the History of Indian Philosophy

Ethics and the History of Indian Philosophy is a scholarly work on the variety and diversity of moral philosophical views in the Indian philosophical tradition. It tackles head on the claim of critics that Indian philosophers were uninterested in ethics by an extended discussion on the meaning of moral terms, concepts and the very idea of philosophy, which are crucial in any assessment of what Indian philosophers did or did not do in the way of ethics. The book will be of interest to anyone concerned with Indian philosophy or Indian ethics. Unlike most works on Indian philosophy, Ethics and the History of Indian Philosophy is written by a philosopher (not a linguist or historian of ideas) trained in both the Western and Indian philosophical traditions.
