What is included with this book?
For courses in ethics and ethical theory.
Balancing theory and application
Consider Ethics: Theory, Readings, and Contemporary Issues covers major ethical theories by tying them to aspects of our day-to-day lives, bringing them to life. Ethics play a part in personal relationships, business, cultural conflicts, and more. By relating ethical theories to issues that arise naturally in modern life, Consider Ethics engages students and pushes them to draw their own conclusions. The 4th Edition has been updated extensively, including a new chapter on reflective equilibrium as a method of ethical inquiry, expansion of the critical thinking study to facilitate discussion of controversial topics, new chapter exercises, and much more.
