Global Ethical Options: In The Tradition Of Gandhi, Kind, And Ikeda

An ideal secondary school, college, and workshop text on an increasingly important issue, this is a unique workbook exploring the possibility of a new "global ethics" in 20 brief chapters, dealing with such ethical issues as self-realization, altruism, cooperation, community, and ecological integrity. Each chapter consists of eight parts: a concise definition of an ethical principle, a restatement of that definition in more popular terms, an elucidation of the principle with comments and examples, a "philosophic panorama" that synthesizes the views of various thinkers about this principle, excerpts and extrapolations from the writings of Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Daisaku Ikeda, a question-posing exercise, a short bibliography, and a list of thinkers who have written on this principle.Lawrence Edward Carter Sr. is the author of 'Global Ethical Options: In The Tradition Of Gandhi, Kind, And Ikeda', published 2002 under ISBN 9780834805019 and ISBN 0834805014.
