Synopsis

The major issues in contemporary moral theory, including discussion of classical as well as contemporary renditions of ethical problems are covered in-depth by questioning popular assumptions. The book draws on examples from sociobiology and game theory in explaining the relationship between ethics and self-interest. Throughout the text, the author instructs readers to think out solutions to problems by illustrating and presenting both (or various) sides of a theory and stresses the application of ethical theory as a necessity.
