Features: This book elaborates on the ethical thought of each country with a focus on the contemporary era. Generally speaking, for several Western countries, it strives to comprehensively interpret ethical schools and their representative figures that hold a certain position in the history of ethical thought or in the contemporary context. For Eastern countries, it presents their cultural and ethical thought characteristics in different ways. For some countries, it aims to elaborate on their ethical thought and theoretical systems, such as India and Japan. Contemporary Foreign Ethical Thought conducts systematic research and elaboration on the contemporary ethical thought of Japan, India, South Korea, North Korea, Singapore, the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Germany, as well as the contemporary ethical thought from the Soviet Union to the Commonwealth of Independent States. The book is organized by chapters in the order of Eastern and Western countries, with each country arranged alphabetically by the first character of its name.
