Surveying pre-modern social norms, “Social Aspects of Early Buddhism” takes on the Buddhist point of view of the world. It begins with an explanation into the Buddhist idea of the formation of the universe and the progression of the development of morality in society up until the time of the Buddha. It further examines the economic, political, and societal relationships between people of that time.
The book was compiled through research from original Pali and Sanskrit texts.
