Ethics for Our Times

Mahatma Gandhi holds an eminent position in the history of ethics and its application to contemporary concerns. This book brings together in one harmonious whole three systems of thoughts on ethics- the Indian, western and Gandhian. It shows how Gandhi, drawing from the other two traditions, made a creative contribution of his own in making ethics richer and more relevant than ever before. It also analyses in detail contemporary dilemma posed by economic growth
business ethics, gender justice and specific policy issues like preferential treatment of socially disadvantaged groups, capital punishment and abortion.
