Basic Ethics presents for a wide range of students and other
interested readers the questions raised in thinking about ethical
problems, the answers offered by moral philosophy, and the means to
better integrate into both the reader's world and personal life. It
takes up what the author calls a "worldview theory," which shows
readers how to begin with the values and understanding of the world
that they already possess in order to transition from there to new
levels of increasing ethical awareness. Updates to the third
edition include the more thorough integration of feminist ethics
into the principal theoretical traditions, a new chapter on the
ethical responsibility to be well informed of current events,
expanded coverage of human rights, and additional opportunities on
how to use ethical reasoning in thinking about one's own life and
about public policy. Key Features: Links personal values to a
philosophical treatment of the major ethical theories Presents
ethics in the context of social/political issues that face our
nation and the world Challenges the student to react to the
presented material through critical exercises that may be used as
weekly assignments and can form the basis of class discussion and
evaluation. Engages the student to think about underlying issues
first (in the basic questions) before presenting the most popular
solutions (in the basic answers) Invites the reader to make up her
own mind on how to formulate an ethical theory that will help her
in her own life Offers a 16-chapter format to fit into most
college-semester calendars Presents an overall structure that
establishes foundational problems in ethical theory in the first
section of the book that are variously addressed by the different
ethical theories in the second section of the book Highlights key
terms to help the reader grapple with issues raised (which are
reviewed and defined in a final Glossary) Includes a final chapter
designed to help students comprehend the book in its entirety.
Updates to the Third Edition: Highlights new research on human
rights and their relevance to ethical thinking and contemporary
moral issues Integrates feminist ethics into the principal
theoretical traditions: virtue ethics, ethical intuitionism, and
some versions of deontology Provides new coverage of "fake news"
and the moral responsibility to be well and accurately informed of
current events Expands opportunities to use ethical reasoning in
thinking about one's own life and about public policy.
