Buddhist Ethics in the Context of Conventional Truth
Buddhist Ethics in the Context of Conventional Truth
Path and Transformation
This chapter argues that there is no special problem in Buddhist ethics. Instead of solving a problem about ethics in the context of conventional truth, it seeks to eliminate an apparent problem. It does so by analyzing the ethical thought of four important Madhyamaka philosophers: Nāgārjuna, Āryadeva, Candrakīrti, and Śāntideva.
Keywords: ethics, ethical truths, Buddhism, ethical theory, Madhyamaka philosophers, Nāgārjuna, Āryadeva, Candrakīrti, Śāntideva, conventional truth
