Description
Motilal Banarsidass Publications Ethics And The History Of Indian Philosophy by Shyam Ranganathan
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.
