Moraalin Suuntaa Etsimässä by Kenan Malik
A Global History of Ethics
The book offers a wide-ranging global history of ethical thought, surveying religious, philosophical and secular traditions from antiquity to the present and showing how moral ideas have been shaped by cross-cultural exchange rather than belonging to any single civilization. It critiques both religious absolutism and crude moral relativism, arguing for a reasoned, pluralistic approach that recognises common human goods—such as dignity, flourishing and rights—while allowing for cultural differences and ongoing debate. Ultimately it urges the construction of a shared moral compass grounded in empathy, critical inquiry and public reasoning to address contemporary social and political challenges.
