From the Publisher:
Unique in its breadth of coverage of key ethical theories, the text includes discussion of virtue ethics, care ethics, Confucian ethics, and Buddhist ethics.
Chapter Two introduces moral reasoning. Students are then shown how to apply moral reasoning to a specific philosophical reading: Judith Jarvis Thomson's "A Defense of Abortion."
A strong pedagogical framework integrates moral theory throughout. Pedagogy includes introductions to each issue, critical thinking questions that precede each reading, and discussion questions that follow each reading.
Case studies at the end of each chapter are accompanied by discussion questions which relate the study to the readings and encourage students to apply their critical thinking skills to moral issues in their own lives.
The text encourages students to consider a wide breadth of moral arguments in the process of seeking a solution.
Moral issues are related to students' experiences whenever possible to help them make the connection between their lives and broader societal issues.
The text's appendices provide coverage on writing a paper in moral philosophy and debating moral issues.
