Over the last seventy years or so there has been a growing interest in Buddhism, and it continues to capture the imagination of many in the West, who see it as either an alternative or a supplement to their own religious beliefs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor complex cultural and historical reasons, ethics has not received as much attention in traditional Buddhist thought as it has in the West. In this \u003cem\u003eVery Short Introduction\u003c\/em\u003e, Damien Keown explores how Buddhism approaches a range of moral issues of our age, including our relationship with our environment, our treatment of animals, and our stance on abortion, on sexuality and gender, on violence and war. This new edition also includes a discussion of the ethical challenges posed by cutting-edge developments in science and biomedical technologies, including neuroscience, artificial intelligence, transhumanism, and gene editing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eABOUT THE SERIES: \u003cbr\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eVery Short Introductions\u003c\/em\u003e series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.
