Announcement Theme: Cross-cultural Ethics Textbook Publication: Edited Book Deadline: 31.10.2019 __________________________________________________ Almost all ethics textbooks either remain mono-cultural or offer only non-specialist chapters on ethics outside the western tradition. That seems to me unfortunate; and so I’d like to propose to colleagues a substantial cross-cultural ethics textbook, aimed at undergraduates, with expert contributions on, for example: - Confucian tradition - Hindu traditions - Buddhist traditions - Islamic traditions - Ubuntu and related traditions - Western traditions: Judaeo-Christianity; virtue ethics, utilitarianism, Kant The idea would be to have an editor, or joint editors, set out a pedagogically inclusive template for the textbook, and to work with appropriate experts in the relevant fields to produce what to my knowledge would be the first textbook of its sort. Open Book Publishers, who work on a free to download basis and do not charge authors for publication, have signalled their interest in such a project. My own role, I hasten to add, is envisaged as no more than facilitative. If this appeals to you, as either a single or a joint editor, or a specialist contributor, please email me with your ideas (no more than one side of paper) by 31 October 2019: [email protected] Contact: Bob Brecher, Director Centre for Applied Philosophy, Politics & Ethics (CAPPE) University of Brighton United Kingdom Email: [email protected] __________________________________________________ InterPhil List Administration: https://interphil.polylog.org InterPhil List Archive: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ __________________________________________________
