The Encyclopedia of Applied Ethics, Second Edition addresses
both the physiological and the psychological aspects of human
behavior. Carefully crafted, well written, and thoroughly indexed,
the encyclopedia helps users-whether they are students just
beginning formal study of the broad field or specialists in a
branch of psychology-understand the field and how and why humans
behave as we do.
The work is an all-encompassing reference providing a
comprehensive and definitive review of the field. A broad and
inclusive table of contents ensures detailed investigation of
historical and theoretical material as well as in-depth analysis of
current issues. Several disciplines may be involved in applied
ethics: one branch of applied ethics, for example, bioethics, is
commonly explicated in terms of ethical, legal, social, and
philosophical issues. Editor-in-Chief Ruth Chadwick has put
together a group of leading contributors ranging from philosophers
to practitioners in the particular fields in question, to academics
from disciplines such as law and economics.
