"Using both classic and newly commissioned essays, Ethics in Practice provides a rich and diverse set of readings for a course in applied ethics. Highly recommended!" Christian B. Miller, Wake Forest University
"This superb collection remains at the top of the field. LaFollette is a master editor and has commissioned and selected articles with great thoughtfulness. Ethics in Practice, Fifth Edition, will be a great resource for any general moral problems course or applied ethics class." Russ Shafer-Landau, University of Wisconsin-Madison
All of us make choices, and for more than twenty years, Ethics in Practice has paved the way for readers around the world to think critically, act responsibly, and confront difficult ethical questions in a variety of practical moral contexts. Accessible to introductory students yet sufficiently rigorous for those pursuing advanced study, this celebrated collection guides readers through the ethical dimensions of contemporary issues such as euthanasia, environmental action, economic injustice, discrimination, incarceration, abortion, and torture. With over half of its collected essays written or revised exclusively for this anthology, Ethics in Practice brings together classic and contemporary scholarship in thoughtfully organized, thematic sections that carefully and critically integrate ethical theory with a discussion of applied examples.
Revisions and updates to the fifth edition of Ethics in Practice focus on navigating ethical issues of global significance--including technology and the environment--and refining core sections to highlight the coherent commonality between discrete practical topics. General and section introductions which map the conceptual terrain make it easy for students to understand and discuss the theoretical and practical dimensions of each issue. Featuring original essays, new perspectives, and revisions of key texts, this anthology enables instructors to discuss specific practical contexts, broader groupings of topics, and common themes that connect major areas in ethics.
Strengthening its international reputation as a leading anthology for introductory and applied ethics courses, the fifth edition of Ethics in Practice curates a topical collection of carefully argued essays which present complex concepts with clarity and verve, equipping readers to grapple with a range of ethical considerations.
