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.
