Ethics: A Contemporary Introduction introduces the issues and
controversies of contemporary moral philosophy. It gets students to
struggle with the big questions of morality while it also relates
these questions to practical issues, especially racism, global
warming, moral education, and abortion. Providing a practical
method for thinking about moral issues-a method based largely on
the golden rule-it is written simply and clearly throughout.
College students who are new to philosophy or who have already
taken an introductory-level course will benefit from its use. Key
Features: Serves as either the sole textbook for a lower-level
introduction to ethics/moral philosophy course or a supplementary
text for a more advanced undergraduate ethics course. Provides
clear, direct writing throughout, making each chapter easily
accessible for an engaged undergraduate student. Offers a
philosophically rigorous presentation of the golden rule. Includes
helpful study aids, including: bolded technical terms; boxes for
key ideas; summaries, study questions, and suggested readings for
each chapter; and a comprehensive glossary/index at the back of the
book. Key Additions to the Third Edition: Each chapter now offers
additional, optional sections on more advanced topics for students
wishing to dig deeper into the material (advanced topics include:
Kohlberg's moral psychology, whether morality is gendered, types of
relativism, early Greek ethics, Hume, and the prisoner's dilemma).
Other improvements include: better chapter organization, clearer
explanations, improved examples, new names for key arguments, and a
better Kindle version. An updated and improved EthiCola
instructional program (with a score-processing program, teacher's
manual, and class slides), which can be downloaded from the web for
free (from www.harrycola.com/ec or www.harryhiker.com/ec).
