Synopsis:
For undergraduate courses in Ethics, Social Ethics, and Contemporary Moral Problems.
This anthology provides a comprehensive selection of readings on eleven contemporary social issues revolving around three general themes: Matters of Life and Death, Matters of Equality and Diversity, and Expanding the Circle (duties beyond borders, living together with animals, and environmental ethics). Each set of readings is accompanied by an extensive introduction, a bibliographical essay, pre-reading questions, and discussion questions.
From the Author:
WWW support
This is an introductory text on contemporary moral issues, including abortion, euthanasia, the death penalty, racism, sexism, affirative action, poverty and welfare, world hunger, animal rights, and environmental ethics. It is distinctive for at least two reasons. First, each chapter begins with one or more personal narratives which help situate the issue in a real-life context. Second, I have developed a world wide web site called Ethics Updates (http://www.acusd.edu/ethics) that provides very current supplemental information on each of these topics.
