“Ethical Theory in Global Perspective” provides an easy-to-teach introduction to ethical theory from a uniquely global perspective. In addition to key Western ethical theories-such as virtue ethics, consequentialism, various deontological theories, and care ethics-moral theories from a range of East Asian, South Asian, and African philosophical traditions and schools are also discussed, including Akan philosophy, Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, and both orthodox and heterodox schools of classical Indian philosophy. In short, this book is a key resource for educators who want to diversify their ethical theory curricula but are not sure how, as well as those currently teaching comparative ethics looking for a single textbook that covers a range of philosophical traditions in a clear, approachable way.
