Aristotelian ethics, Kantian ethics, and utilitarian ethics have
been for some time now the main options within (Western) ethics,
and the central task over the years has been to determine which of
the three is right. Is this book yet another attempt to fulfill
this same old task? Not at all. Sterba argues that in their ongoing
attempts to put forward for general consideration the most morally
defensible versions of their views, advocates of Aristotelian
ethics, Kantian ethics, and utilitarian ethics have jettisoned much
of what had originally distinguished their theories from each
other. The upshot is that, in their current most morally defensible
formulations, Aristotelian ethics, Kantian ethics, and utilitarian
ethics no longer differ in the practical requirements they endorse.
This makes the resolution of moral problems far easier. Sterba
drives home his claims by taking up some of the most challenging
and important moral problems of our time--sexual harassment,
affirmative action, and international terrorism and Iraqi War II.
This book is an ideal supplementary text for courses in
introductory ethics, history of ethics, contemporary moral
problems, and various applied ethics courses. Featuring a lucid
writing style and coverage of current moral issues, it is also
captivating reading for general readers.
