What is morality? How do we define what is right and wrong? How
does moral theory help us deal with ethical issues in the world
around us? This second edition provides an engaging and stimulating
introduction to philosophical thinking about morality. Christopher
Bennett provides the reader with accessible examples of
contemporary and relevant ethical problems, before looking at the
main theoretical approaches and key philosophers associated with
them. Topics covered include: life and death issues such as
abortion and global poverty; the meaning of life; whether life is
sacred and which lives matter; major moral theories such as
utilitarianism, Kantian ethics and virtue ethics; critiques of
morality from Marx and Nietzsche. What is this Thing Called Ethics?
has been thoroughly revised and updated throughout, with a new
final chapter on meta-ethics. With boxed case studies, discussion
questions and further reading included within each chapter this
textbook is the ideal introduction to ethics for philosophy
students coming to the subject for the first time.
