Book Synopsis Multi-Religious Perspectives on a Global Ethic by : Myriam Renaud
Download or read book Multi-Religious Perspectives on a Global Ethic written by Myriam Renaud and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ratified by the Parliament of the World’s Religions in 1993 and expanded in 2018, "Towards a Global Ethic (An Initial Declaration)," or the Global Ethic, expresses the minimal set of principles shared by people—religious or not. Though it is a secular document, the Global Ethic emerged after months of collaborative, interreligious dialogue dedicated to identifying a common ethical framework. This volume tests and contests the claim that the Global Ethic’s ethical directives can be found in the world’s religious, spiritual, and cultural traditions. The book features essays by scholars of religion who grapple with the practical implications of the Global Ethic’s directives when applied to issues like women’s rights, displaced peoples, income and wealth inequality, India’s caste system, and more. The scholars explore their respective religious traditions’ ethical response to one or more of these issues and compares them to the ethical response elaborated by the Global Ethic. The traditions included are Hinduism, Engaged Buddhism, Shi‘i Islam, Sunni Islam, Confucianism, Protestantism, Catholicism, Judaism, Indigenous African Religions, and Human Rights. To highlight the complexities within traditions, most essays are followed by a brief response by an expert in the same tradition. Multi-Religious Perspectives on a Global Ethic is of special interest to advanced students and scholars whose work focuses on the religious traditions listed above, on comparative religion, religious ethics, comparative ethics, and common morality.

Book Synopsis Disorienting Dharma by : Emily T. Hudson
Download or read book Disorienting Dharma written by Emily T. Hudson and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2013 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the relationship between ethics, aesthetics, and religion in classical Indian literature and literary theory by focusing on one of the most celebrated and enigmatic texts to emerge from the Sanskrit epic tradition, the Mahabharata. This text, which is widely acknowledged to be one of the most important sources for the study of South Asian religious, social, and political thought, is a foundational text of the Hindu tradition(s) and considered to be a major transmitter of dharma (moral, social, and religious duty), perhaps the single most important concept in the history of Indian religions. However, in spite of two centuries of Euro-American scholarship on the epic, basic questions concerning precisely how the epic is communicating its ideas about dharma and precisely what it is saying about it are still being explored. Disorienting Dharma brings to bear a variety of interpretive lenses (Sanskrit literary theory, reader-response theory, and narrative ethics) to examine these issues. One of the first book-length studies to explore the subject from the lens of Indian aesthetics, it argues that such a perspective yields startling new insights into the nature of the depiction of dharma in the epic through bringing to light one of the principle narrative tensions of the epic: the vexed relationship between dharma and suffering. In addition, it seeks to make the Mahabharata interesting and accessible to a wider audience by demonstrating how reading the Mahabharata, perhaps the most harrowing story in world literature, is a fascinating, disorienting, and ultimately transformative experience.

Book Synopsis Why India, Instead of Copying the West, Should Promote Universal Ethics of DHARMA ? by : Canagaradja GANESSANE
Download or read book Why India, Instead of Copying the West, Should Promote Universal Ethics of DHARMA ? written by Canagaradja GANESSANE and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-22 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a book by a TAMIL who once lived in an Indian Village called "PONNERI" (lake of gold) but whose destiny catapulted him 10000 kilometers away from his native village to discover the West as per God's wish so that he can offer a unique way of looking at the world for all his brothers and sisters of the United States, Europe and Asia.India should help the USA to infuse "Dharmic ethics" in to its present system and promote "governance and business" based on "dharma" and not on "greed and desire" devoid of ethics.The American Declaration of Independence puts emphasis on the three principles of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" but people confounded happiness with "greed and desire unlimited "and with an obsession to succeed, at any cost, their professional life, they go on neglecting their wives (or husbands) and children. They forget to spend time tasting small pleasures of life, like walking with their family in the woods or going on a picnic or admiring a sunset. Their eyes are wide open but they seem to see nothing and behave as if they are blind to many small pleasures of life.But, one day, suddenly they grow older and find themselves unable to taste those small pleasures (often without price tags on them) they sacrificed to make their career a success.They used to be obsessed with their work and neglected to spend time with their wives (or husbands) or children; when, one day, they go on retirement, what they accumulated in a life time, will perhaps appear useless because their health would have declined and old age would have inflicted many a handicap of which they cannot, even, openly speak. Why did they do so? They have always been taught to search for happiness in the outer world. Some wanting to know "who they really are" search for the answer in others. If they cannot know themselves, how can others know who they really are?Not knowing the inherent impermanent nature of money, they run after it but they never feel satisfied even after accumulating wealth; they run after women but they never feel happy with anyone of them; they run after the latest gadget, materials, cars, but they never find any of them attractive after sometime. They will remain eternally gasping for their breath and never attain inner peace.In the first part of this book, I expand on what are the negative consequences of a mindset based on "greed unlimited and overinflated ego" of the western system so that we may become aware of our own imperfections and fundamental and structural drawbacks which are preventing us to grow really spiritually. Knowing our own defects is essential to correct them and contribute to the betterment of the whole humanity. West cannot be complete without the wisdom from the East. India should retain its soul of DHARMA so as to share its treasures of sacred secrets with the West and promote governance, economy, and business, service based on Global ethics. A new world order should emerge based on "DHARMA", the quintessential eternal and universal human values of Vedas.
Download or read book To Uphold the World written by Bruce Rich and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1991, Bruce Rich traveled to Orissa and gazed upon the rock edicts erected by the Indian emperor Ashoka over 2,200 years ago. Intrigued by the stone inscriptions that declared religious tolerance, conservation, nonviolence, species protection, and human rights, Rich was drawn into Ashoka's world. Ashoka was a powerful conqueror who converted to Buddhism on the heels of a bloody war, yet his empire rested on a political system that prioritized material wealth and amoral realpolitik. This system had been perfected by Kautilya, a statesman who wrote the world's first treatise on economics. In this powerful critique of the current wave of globalization, Rich urgently calls for a new global ethic, distilling the messages of Ashoka and Kautilya while reflecting on thinkers from across the ages—from Aristotle and Adam Smith to George Soros.
Book Synopsis Indian Ethics by : Purushottama Bilimoria
Download or read book Indian Ethics written by Purushottama Bilimoria and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indian ethics is one of the great traditions of moral thought in world philosophy whose insights have influenced thinkers in early Greece, Europe, Asia, and the New World. This is the first such systematic study of the spectrum of moral reflections from India, engaging a critical cross-cultural perspective and attending to modern secular sensibilities. The volume explores the scope and limits of Indian ethical thinking, reflecting on the interpretation and application of its teachings and practices in the comparative and contemporary contexts. The chapters chart orthodox and heterodox debates, from early classical Hindu texts to Buddhist, Jaina, Yoga, and Gandhian ethics. The range of issues includes: life-values and virtues, karma and dharma, evil and suffering, renunciation and enlightenment; and extends to questions of human rights and justice, ecology and animal ethics, nonviolence and democracy. Ramifications for rethinking ethics in a postmodern and global era are also explored. Indian Ethics offers an invaluable resource for students of philosophy, religion, human sciences and cultural studies, and to those interested in South Asian responses to moral dilemmas in the postcolonial era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this timely and urgent work, Hans Kung reminds us: - Every minute, the nations of the world spend 1.8 million dollars on military armaments; - Every hour, 1500 children die of hunger-related causes; - Every week during the 1980s, more people were detained, tortured, assassinated, made refugee, or in other ways violated by acts of repressive regimes than at any other time in history; - Every month, the world's economic system adds over 7.5 billion dollars to the catastrophically unbearable debt burden of more than 1.5 trillion dollars now resting on the shoulders of Third World peoples; - Every year, an area of tropical forest three-quarters the size of Korea is destroyed and lost; - Every decade, if present global warming trends continue, the temperature of the earth's atmosphere could rise dramatically with a resultant rise in sea levels that would have disastrous consequences, particularly for coastal areas of all the earth's land masses. In 'Global Responsibility', the author offers important new approaches and concludes that: - There can be no peace among the nations without peace among the religions. - There can be no peace among the religions without dialogue between the religions. - There can be no ongoing human society without a global ethic.
