Ethics and Experience

Moral Theory from Just War to Abortion

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Ethics and Experience introduces students to the key topics in moral theory through provocative moral issues--just war, abortion, physician assisted suicide, the death penalty and more. Steffen helps students bridge the gap between ethical theory and experience through developing a "common agreement" ethical system that is applicable to a variety of moral problems and issues with clear language and real-life examples.
