Praise for ETHICS _in_ PRACTICE “This new edition of _Ethics in
Practice_ offers a cornucopia of 72 expertly-edited texts – both
canonical and contemporary – on a wonderfully wide selection of
topics in moral theory and applied ethics. Students, teachers, and
researchers will find in it a practically endless source of
thought-provoking and conversation-sparking readings.”
—STUART GREEN, Distinguished Professor of Law, Rutgers University
“Those of us who write and teach in practical ethics owe a debt of
gratitude to Hugh LaFollette for assembling this superb collection of
important contributions to the core theoretical questions and pressing
contemporary issues in moral philosophy.”
—CHRISTOPHER HEATH WELLMAN, Washington University in St. Louis
_Ethics in Practice_ has guided students through the ethical
dimensions of controversial debates for more than two decades,
providing the knowledge required to confront difficult questions in
various practical moral contexts. Now in its sixth edition, this
field-defining textbook explores a wide range of global, local, and
personal ethical issues while presenting the historical basis of key
developments in ethical theory. Editor Hugh LaFollette, highly
regarded for his contributions in the field of practical ethics,
critically integrates ethical theory with discussion of applied
examples of economic injustice, discrimination, incarceration, genetic
modification, gun control, torture, euthanasia, hate speech, and more.
Throughout the book, student-friendly introductions clarify complex
concepts and highlight the theoretical and practical aspects of each
issue discussed. This new edition is fully revised to reflect the
latest empirical evidence and applications, including new and updated
case studies, examples, data, and references. Entirely new essays
address topics such as punishment, sentencing, assassination, the
environment, epistemic vices, pragmatic ethics, biomedical
technologies, and abortion in the post-Dobbs era.
