Description: | Select Guide Rating Covers questions raised in thinking about ethical problems, answers offered by moral philosophy, and helps integrate both into student's world and personal life. The 3rd edition better integrates feminist ethics, expands coverage on human rights, and adds a new chapter on the ethics of awareness of current events. Basic Ethics presents for a wide range of students and other interested readers the questions raised in thinking about ethical problems, the answers offered by moral philosophy, and the means to better integrate into both the reader’s world and personal life. It takes up what the author calls a "worldview theory," which shows readers how to begin with the values and understanding of the world that they already possess in order to transition from there to new levels of increasing ethical awareness. Updates to the third edition include the more thorough integration of feminist ethics into the principal theoretical traditions, a new chapter on the ethical responsibility to be well informed of current events, expanded coverage of human rights, and additional opportunities on how to use ethical reasoning in thinking about one’s own life and about public policy.
