About the Book

Ideal for courses in contemporary moral problems, applied ethics, and introduction to ethics, Disputed Moral Issues: A Reader, Sixth Edition, offers a unique pedagogical approach that bridges moral theory and applied ethics. Bringing together sixty-eight engaging articles, it also includes an accessible Moral Theory Primer (Chapter 1). Each selection is enhanced by a host of pedagogical features, including concise summaries, reader cues referring to pertinent moral theories, and reading and discussion questions. A "Quick Guide to Moral Theories" at the front of the book and an extensive glossary of key terms are also included. A "User's Guide," which follows the preface, shows instructors how they can integrate moral theories and applied ethics into their courses.

Review :
Overall, this anthology is one of the most balanced and complete textbooks I have ever used for my introduction to ethics courses.This anthology combines a solid overview of most of the major normative ethical theories with readings on a wide variety of contemporary issues in applied ethics."- Jeff Wisdom, Joliet Junior College In my opinion, the coverage of topics is top notch. I would say that it does a great job incorporating many theoretical approaches and applying them to the pressing issues of the day." - Brian Powell, Western Illinois University This is a fair-minded examination of contemporary moral disputes, with a balanced representation of classic and contemporary articles by leading philosophers and social thinkers. I find the text to have an excellent overall topical coverage, and it is balanced and complete." - Timothy Madigan, St. John Fisher College
