Books by Damien Keown

Discusses contemporary issues in medical ethics such as abortion, embryo research and euthanasia, from a Buddhist perspective. Drawing on both ancient and modern sources, the book shows how Buddhist ethical principles can be applied to a range of bioethical problems.

Examines ethical data from early and later sources in an attempt to understand the theoretical nature of Buddhist ethics and clarify its role. This book rejects the view that ethics are only of limited or provisional validity.

This volume brings together the views of leading scholars on a range of controversial subjects including human rights, animal rights, ecology, abortion, euthanasia, and contemporary business practice.
