This anthology is designed for use as a brief introduction to
ethical theory. Included are sections on various forms of ethical
theory: Ethical Relativism; Divine Command Theory; Egoism;
Consequentialism; Deontology; Justice; Virtue Ethics; Feminist
Ethics; and, new to the second edition, Pluralism. Each section
includes two or three of the most important and interesting
contributions to the field, together with brief introductions by
the editors. The second edition contains an improved approach to
applied ethics. Whereas in the first edition the authors included a
chapter at the end of the book that contained selections that dealt
with moral problems, in the second edition they have dropped that
chapter in favour of an approach that ties moral issues more
closely to the moral theories. Each chapter on moral theories now
includes a selection that deals with a moral problem, such as human
cloning, abortion, and global warming. The selection illustrates
how the relevant theoretical approach is put to use. There is
therefore a much tighter integration between theory and practice
than before. The new structural approach should make the book
significantly more effective in the classroom. The new edition also
contains an improved section on feminist ethical theory.
