Buddhist Ethics : A Philosophical Exploration
Buddhist Ethics presents an outline of Buddhist ethical thought.It is not a defense of Buddhist approaches to ethics as opposed to any other, nor is it a critique of the Western tradition.Garfield presents a broad overview of a range of Buddhist approaches to the question of moral philosophy.He draws on a variety of thinkers, reflecting the great diversity of this 2500-year-old tradition in philosophy but also the principles that tie them together.In particular, he engages with the literature that argues that Buddhist ethics is best understood as a species of virtue ethics, and with those who argue that it is best understood as consequentialist.Garfield argues that while there are important points of contact with these Western frameworks, Buddhist ethics is distinctive, and is a kind of moral phenomenology that is concerned with the ways in which we experience ourselves as agents and others as moral fellows.With this framework, Garfield explores the connections between Buddhist ethics and recent work in moral particularism, such as that of Jonathan Dancy, as well as the British and Scottish sentimentalist tradition represented by Hume and Smith.

Essays on Ethics and Culture
These essays discuss various ontological and epistemological questions in moral philosophy, drawing on ideas from Platonic-Aristotelian ethics, the later Wittgenstein, and Iris Murdoch, though without seeking to weave these into any unified system.The general approach is realist or objectivist, paying some attention to the role of imaginative literature (especially the novel) in ethical formation.A common theme is the lived experience of the socially situated subject, including our capacity for engagement with the values present in an inherited tradition or 'form of life'.Such engagement, once raised to consciousness, may contain elements both of affirmation and of cultural critique.In the book as a whole, the critical theme predominates, with a certain emphasis on discourses of social disruption.But it is always assumed that the right place to stand as an observer of the domain of value is within that domain, and that moral critique will be immanent with respect to the culture addressed--that is, it will make do with just the conceptual and linguistic resources available to ordinary participants in moral, political, or aesthetic conversation.

Inclusive and Sustainable Finance : Leadership, Ethics and Culture
Instead of being a means to an end, finance has become an end in itself and a master of economic actions and priorities.The role of ethics, culture and faith has been diminished by neoliberalism over the last forty years, such that we are living through a profound moral crisis, rising inequality and plutocracy.This practice is destroying the social and trust capital that already exists and is in need of replenishing.This pioneering book draws upon diverse wisdom traditions and their current living business practices to show that not only is another world possible, but it is actually hiding in plain sight.The author argues that our obsession with technocratic economic science has disabled us from exposing the organic and culturally diverse practices of finance.The climate and inequality crises demand new institutional and cultural solutions to transform behaviour and heal the planet.Through real-life examples and case studies, this book illustrates and develops a new organic theory of finance which can be taught and shared all over the world, helping society to prepare for a sustainable and inclusive future.It provides valuable empowerment to experts and professionals from different cultures and traditions to write about their own finance practices and in turn encourage their students and communities to embrace sustainability ideals.There is a global audience for this book, given its multicultural outlook and the diversity of narratives and case studies, from entrepreneurs to MBA students and leaders in accounting and finance.It also has huge relevance for policymakers and educators keen on embracing sustainable finance in their curriculum.

Ethics
'The noblest and most lovable of the great philosophers ... ethically he is supreme' Bertrand RussellPublished shortly after his death in 1677, the Ethics is Spinoza's greatest work - a fully cohesive philosophical system that strives to provide a picture of reality and to comprehend the meaning of an ethical life.It defines in turn the nature of God, the mind, human bondage to the emotions and the power of understanding - moving from a consideration of the eternal, to speculate upon humanity's place in the natural order and the path to attainable happiness.A work of elegant simplicity, the Ethics is a brilliantly insightful consideration of the possibility of redemption through philosophical reflection. Translated by Edwin Curley with an Introduction by Stuart Hampshire
