Philosophy has provided us with a wealth of moral and ethical
theories. Applied ethics is the study of practical moral issues and
our best philosophical theories, and how each can inform the other.
Acclaimed philosopher and textbook author Robin Attfield invites
students to reflect on the key problems of our time. Through lively
case studies of topics related to health care, international
development, the environment, abortion, punishment and more, he
reveals how standard ethical theories can be tested on these
real-life scenarios and, if necessary, revised or discarded.
Students are encouraged to be their own philosophers, exploring and
reaching coherent stances across a wide range of areas of everyday
concern. Covering a typical applied ethics syllabus in a
comprehensive and accessible manner, Applied Ethics will motivate
philosophy students to engage with the most pressing moral issues
of the twenty-first century.
