Applied Ethics is a unique text. In the first part, Dr. John Tamilio III examines some of the most influential moral theories within the Western tradition, most notably those proffered by Aristotle, Immanuel Kant, Jeremy Bentham, and John Stuart Mill. He also explores the complex theories that undergird religious ethics, cultural relativism, and a variety of social contract paradigms. As the subtitle indicates, Tamilio also analyzes some of the more controversial and ubiquitous issues in medicine, business, and ecology. This book is ideal for undergraduates who are studying ethics for the first and for those who desire a deeper insight into the role ethics plays in contemporary culture.

Bold and daring, Blind Painting introduces readers to the multi-layered poetry of John Tamilio III. Systematically deconstructing the human condition, the themes of love and death, faith and despair, transgression and redemption, are all summoned through innovative metaphors that sample the poet's extensive theological and literary background. Rich in natural imagery, readers are taken on a journey along the shoreline and through the landscape of the poet's native New England--astutely capturing "the space between thought and pen."
