Examines ethical data from early and later sources in an attempt to understand the theoretical nature of Buddhist ethics and clarify it's role.

This book draws on the Aristotleian tradition of ethics in suggesting that moral as well as intellectual perfection is a constituent of the final good or nirvana.
