Recenzii
Bina Gupta's new book of readings, Ethical Questions: East and West, is a welcome addition to the literature in comparative philosophy. Professor Gupta breaks interesting philosophical ground with this text of well-chosen and highly readable classics drawn from the world's ethical literature.
This is just the sort of volume that I would use as a textbook to introduce undergraduate students to the variety of ways the central questions of ethics were formulated and answered in the major philosophical traditions. The selections are well-chosen, and the introductory essays are excellent.
Ethical Questions: East and West is an excellent choice for anyone wishing to teach an ethics course spanning Eastern and Western traditions. Instructors not familiar with Eastern thought will learn as much from the well-written introductions as their students.
