Moral Dilemmas in Real Life purports to supply ways of thinking
of, perhaps even dealing with, the ins and outs of ethical
argument. The world today presents both individuals and communities
with situations, which demand moral and ethical deliberations. From
the more general issues of universal globalization to the very
specific problems of every-day existence encountered by active
agents, contemporary life is replete with moral and ethical
conundrums. Any thinking person is required, so it seems, to be
concerned, involved, or at the very least conversant with these
issues and this book supplies the wherewithal needed.
Applied ethics is that intellectual locale where theory meets
praxis. Moral Dilemmas in Real Life is designed to make that
meeting point explicit, by presenting a series of issues in
well-grounded philosophical formulations.
The book begins with the general relation between the individual
and society instilling ethical tension, and even clashes, between
the private and the public in our discourse. Going on, from general
to specific, it gradually narrows the ethical playing field to
touch on medical ethics, the family, and the practice of
punishment. In all cases, the book addresses both consensual and
conventional social institutions and distortions thereof.
