Hindu Ethics: A Philosophical Study

This philosophical study offers a representation of the logical structure of classical Hindu ethics and argues for the availability of at least the core of this ethical system for Westerners. The author refutes the claim that the ethical systems of India rest upon factual suppositions that are unacceptable to modern Western philosophers. He argues for the opposite position, at least with regard to the "Bhagavadgita", which does not logically presuppose any factual theses that are entirely unacceptable. Throughout, the author designates several Hindu ethical themes as particularly worthy of the attention of Western philosophers.
