Michael Hemmingsen's edited collection, 'Ethical Theory in Global Perspective', provides a comprehensive introduction to ethical theory, emphasizing the importance of incorporating non-Western philosophical traditions alongside established Western theories like virtue ethics and consequentialism.
The collection uniquely highlights the moral theories from a diverse array of global philosophical traditions, such as Akan philosophy, Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, and Indian philosophical schools, thereby enriching the reader's understanding of ethics.
By addressing both orthodox and heterodox schools of thought, the book engages with a wide spectrum of ethical frameworks, allowing educators to present a more inclusive and nuanced view of ethical theory.
The goal of the anthology is to bridge gaps between various ethical traditions and promote a more holistic understanding of ethics that is applicable across different cultural contexts.
