VALUES, NON-VIOLENCE AND ECOLOGY: TWO APPROACHES

.

Abstract

Indian thought has casually been charged as not having developed critical ethics. In numerous ancient writings there are long lists of virtues to be observed in practical life, but the ethical theory as such may seem inadequate to some Westerners. The West has fairly recently developed, particularly through the English medium, formal ethics. Hence we have quite a few books on General Moral Theory and on Descriptive Ethics.
