Despite its considerable influence Damien Keown's The Nature of Buddhist Ethics has not received an extended criticism, and the goal of this thesis is to attempt this task. I direct two general criticisms against the text. The first questions its teleological model of Buddhist ethics and the second interrogates its binary model of human psychology, which excludes the notion of the will.
