The Ethical and Hinduism views on Prostitution

Saddam Hossain

Prostitution and it’s brief history, ethics, Hinduism

Prostitution is undoubtedly a very ancient practice and the debates about this practice are very old and still persist. Various books and articles are being published about prostitution and various theories are being presented. Although scientific, literary and religious debates on prostitution are alive and well, philosophical discussions on it seem to have never been serious. Now the question is how to explain it in a philosophical discussion? Is there any logic? Could it be that the subject of prostitution is not so amenable to philosophical discussion . Or is it the case that although prostitution can be discussed philosophically, it does not raise any serious philosophical questions?. There is no reason to think that prostitution is not a matter of philosophical discussion, as the profession involves many ideological and evaluative issues. Could it be that prostitution as a moral question is appropriate for ethics rather than moral philosophy? And it does not give rise to any higher moral principles. And it may seem that prostitution is related to the ethics of religion and religious disobedience. Can’t philosophy have philosophical discussions with religious views on prostitution?. This article discusses the brief history of prostitution, how it existed in ancient India. An attempt has also been made to show the moral aspect of prostitution and to show briefly how Hinduism treats prostitution.
