Description
Exploring the complexities of ethics and morality is at the heart of this accessible textbook. Key ideas in normative ethics, metaethics, and applied ethics are explained rigorously and systematically, with a focus on real-life examples that illustrate their relevance to contemporary situations.
The book provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject, covering individual theories and their applications to business ethics, sexual ethics, and the acceptability of eating animals. A clear and practical layout includes end-of-chapter summaries, key terms, and common mistakes to avoid, making it an ideal resource for students and teachers.
With its concise and engaging style, this textbook is tailored to support the Ethics components of AQA Philosophy and OCR Religious Studies, as well as being useful for those teaching Philosophy as part of the International Baccalaureate. Mark Dimmock and Andrew Fisher's precise and scholarly approach will appeal to anyone seeking a rigorous introduction to ethics.
