_Ethics and Your Life: Applying Ethical Theories to the Lives of Real
People_ provides students with an introduction to various methods of
ethical reasoning and their application in our everyday lives. The
book underscores the ubiquitous nature of ethics and its importance in
helping us better understand each other, ourselves, and increasingly
complicated and confusing times.
The text begins with an exploration of the divine command theory,
followed by moral objectivism, moral relativism or subjectivism,
cultural relativism, egoism, altruism, utilitarianism, Kantianism,
natural law theory, human rights, virtue ethics, feminism and the
ethics of care, sexual ethics, abortion, euthanasia, life and death
issues, equality and discrimination, the death penalty, and war and
peace. Throughout, the book connects ethical theory with real-life
concerns and debates such as terrorism, gun violence, economic
inequality, international relations, personal safety, and more.
Developed to introduce students to foundational ideas and concepts,
_Ethics and Your Life_ is an excellent and easy-to-understand resource
for undergraduate courses in philosophy and ethics.
