"This remarkable volume offers several timely contributions to comparative eastwest philosophy. The book includes insights on world philosophy from Michael Slote, and furnishes reformulations of important Indian philosophical perspectives. The bulk of the work, however, focuses on virtue ethics. The collection features chapters applying virtue ethics from Indian and western perspectives to economic and financial issues, and contributions featuring uses of Indian virtue ethics for theory-building. It is difficult to underestimate the importance of this book to our understanding of Indian philosophy, its relevance to western theory, and its relevance to important practical issues in our world today." (Nancy E. Snow, University of Kansas) "Indian philosophy has contributed so much to the world. Indian contributions to ethical thought are distinctive, profound, and have been immensely influential.

This fine collection brings us a fresh look at this great tradition and its relevance to contemporary thought through the eyes of some of the leading scholars of Indian philosophy in the world today. No responsible ethicist can ignore the Indian tradition; nobody who cares about the Indian tradition can ignore this fine anthology." (Jay L. Garfield, Smith College and Harvard Divinity School).
