Recent years have seen the revival of the application of moral
philosophy to contemporary practical problems, and a corresponding
explosion of books on the subject. Most of these books, however,
defend approaches that are consequentialist or specifically
utilitarian in nature.
"Applied Ethics," and its companion volume" Moral Theory,"
provide a viable alternative to consequentialist orthodoxy.
"Applied Ethics" focuses the central concepts of traditional
morality - rights, justice, the good, virtue, and the fundamental
value of human life - on a number of pressing contemporary
problems, including abortion, euthanasia, animals, capital
punishment, and war.
"Applied Ethics" and "Moral Theory," make an important
contribution to contemporary ethical debates, which will be useful
both to undergraduates and professional philosophers.
