«Ancient Wisdom, Modern World» is the ethics essay by the 14th Dalai Lama and Alexander Norman, published by Abacus in paperback (256 pages, in English).
The Dalai Lama reflects on how to ground ethics when science has displaced religion and morality is understood as aesthetic choice or legality. Faced with this spiritual void, he proposes universal principles based on compassion and responsibility, applicable to daily life and care for the environment, with contemplation guides.
The subtitle is Ethics for the New Millennium. The work complements the Dalai Lama's autobiography, Freedom in Exile.
For readers interested in practical philosophy, Buddhism and spirituality, as well as ethical reflection applied to contemporary life.
The 14th Dalai Lama is the incumbent Dalai Lama, the highest spiritual leader and head of Tibetan Buddhism. He served as the resident spiritual and temporal leader of Tibet before 1959, and subsequently led the Tibetan government in exile represented by the Central Tibetan Administration in Dharamsala, India.
