Description
Creative Morality explores how we think about and resolve moral dilemmas. Two fundamental approaches to ethics - Utilitarianism and Kantianism - have shaped Western moral thought, but MacNiven argues that they need to be combined in a coherent way to tackle modern moral problems.
The book examines complex issues such as academic honesty, medical confidentiality, terrorism, and euthanasia, using real-life hypothetical dilemmas to test theoretical approaches against practical reality. However, MacNiven shows that there is no single solution, as creativity plays a crucial role in moral thought.
