Recenzje

Garfield's comprehensive presentation of Buddhist ethical thought is an invaluable contribution not only to philosophy, ethical theory, and theology but also a fascinating read for anyone wondering how to relate Buddhism to Western philosophy. Showing how Buddhist ethics aims for 'the trans-formation of our moral perception,' Garfield presents a compelling reading of Buddhism as a call for greater interconnectedness and universal moral responsibility.
