- Summary:
- This book looks at concepts of justice from points of view of various religious. and cultural traditions (Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Cosmopolitanism, Tribal. Cultures) and different methodological perspectives (historical, theological,. philosophical, sociological). One common thread in these essays is the reflection. on ethics universally and reference to the basic values of the Indian constitution.
