[INDOLOGY] Gita moral philosophy

[Alex Watson]

Dear Howard

I don't think any of the following discuss the Euthyphro dilemma
specifically, but they all analyze 'the ethics of the Gītā' using either
the framework of the consequentialism / deontology / virtue ethics
trichotomy or the categories of western axiology.

Perrett, Roy W. 1998. *Hindu Ethics: A Philosophical Study. * The Gīta's
ethics are discussed in all 4 chapters, but especially the first 3.

Perrett, Roy W. 2005. 'Hindu Ethics?' In *The Blackwell Companion to
Religious Ethics.* Edited by William Schweiker. Oxford: Blackwell
Publishing, pp. 323–29.

Sreekumar, Sandeep. 2012. 'An Analysis of Consequentialism and Deontology
in the Normative Ethics of the Bhagavadgītā.' *Journal of Indian Philosophy*
40: 277–315.

Frazier Jessica. 2021. 'Ethics in Classical Hindu Philosophy: Provinces of
Consequence, Agency, and Value in the Bhagavad Gītā and Other Epic and
Śāstric Texts.' *Religions* 12(11), 1029;
