Sue Hamilton
Indian Philosophy: A Very Short Introduction
Series: Very Short Introductions
Publisher: Oxford University Press, 2001
Softbound, 176 pages
ISBN 978-0-19-285374-5
India has a long, rich, and diverse tradition of philosophical thought, spanning some two and a half millennia and encompassing several major religious traditions.
Until recently it was widely believed that India is "mystical" and the West is 'rational', and many still hold this view. But in fact Indian thought has a strong tradition of rationality, as this Very Short Introduction explains. Starting with the very beginnings of philosophizing in India, Sue Hamilton shows how and why philosophical debate developed, flourished, and proliferated into a variety of schools of thought. In highlighting its key features, she draws the reader into the world of 'classical' Indian philosophy, illustrating the different ways in which the great Indian thinkers interpreted and sought to understand the nature of reality. |

Simon Blackburn
Ethics: A Very Short Introduction
Series: Very Short Introductions
Publisher: Oxford University Press, 2003
Softbound, 152 pages
ISBN 978-0-19-280442-6
Our self-image as moral, well-behaved creatures is dogged by scepticism, relativism, hypocrisy, and nihilism. Many fear that in a godless world science has unmasked us as creatures fated by our genes to be selfish and tribalistic, or competitive and aggressive.
This book, previously published as Being Good, provides a "sparklingly clear" (Guardian) introduction to ethics. Simon Blackburn tackles the major moral questions surrounding birth, death, happiness, desire, and freedom. He shows us how we should think about the meaning of life, and how we should mistrust the soundbite sized absolutes that often dominate moral debates. |
