How do you decide what is ethically wrong and right? Few people
make moral judgments by taking the theory first. Specifically
written with the interests, needs, and experience of students in
mind, this textbook approaches thinking ethically as you do in real
life - by first encountering practical moral problems and then
introducing theory to understand and integrate the issues. Built
around engaging case studies from news media, court hearings,
famous speeches and philosophical writings, each of the 15
chapters: - explains and defines the moral problem dealt with -
provides excerpts of readings on all sides of the issue - analyses
the problem, using the relevant theory The examples are
recognizable ethical problems, including judgments about racism and
sexism, controversial debates such as assisted suicide and the
death penalty, and contemporary concerns like privacy and
technology, corporate responsibility, and the environment. The
mission of the book is to assist you to engage in informed,
independent, critical thinking and to enable you to enter into
ethical discussions in the classroom and beyond. Supported by
learning features, including study questions, key quotes, handy
definitions and a companion website, this book is essential for any
student of moral philosophy.
