The Routledge Companion to Indian Ethics 1st Edition

The Routledge Companion to Indian Ethics 1st Edition by Purushottama Bilimoria and Amy Rayner is an authoritative, wide-ranging guide to moral thought and practice across the Indian subcontinent and its global diasporas. This essential volume brings together leading scholars to map centuries of ethical reflection—from classical Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, and Sikh traditions to contemporary debates in law, bioethics, environment, gender, caste, business, and human rights.

Begin with a compelling sweep of historical foundations and move into timely, real-world applications: the book connects ancient normative theories with pressing modern issues such as public policy, technology, and social justice in India and South Asia. Interdisciplinary in scope, it blends philosophy, religious studies, anthropology, and legal perspectives to offer readers a nuanced understanding of how ethical frameworks are formed, contested, and practiced throughout diverse communities.

Ideal for students, researchers, educators, and professionals engaged with Indian ethical thought, this 1st edition provides clear overviews, comparative analyses, and critical essays that make complex ideas accessible without sacrificing scholarly rigor. Chapters are crafted to support classroom use, curriculum development, and independent study, while also serving as a reference for policymakers and practitioners working on ethical challenges in a South Asian context.
