About the Book

This work is published under the auspices of the Australian Association for Professional and Applied Ethics. The contributors are, for the most part, members of the association, people working, teaching and consulting in applied ethics in companies and public organisations throughout Australia. Many of them also draw on a background in ethics in the US, the UK and near Asia, as well as in Australia.Their various backgrounds have produced a book that is readily distinguishable from other books on ethics. This book extends beyond ethical theory into actual practice. It draws on the knowledge and experience of over 20 contributors across 14 different disciplines. Each outlines workable methods for strengthening ethical practices in our business organisations and public institutions.

About the Author :
Peter Bowden is a member of the national committee of the Australian Association of Professional and Applied Ethics. Formerly coordinator of the MBA programme at Monash University and Professor of Administration at the University of Manchester, he is now an Associate of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Sydney, and teaches ethics in the Faculty of Engineering.

Review :
Ethics, also known as moral philosophy, is a branch of philosophy that involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong conduct. Applied Ethics is the philosophical examination, from a moral standpoint, of particular issues in private and public life that are matters of moral judgment. It is thus the attempts to use philosophical methods to identify the morally correct course of action in various fields of human life. Bioethics, for example, is concerned with identifying the correct approach to matters such as euthanasia, or the allocation of scarce health resources, or the use of human embryos in research. Environmental ethics is concerned with questions such as the duties or duty of 'whistleblowers' to the general public as opposed to their loyalty to their employers. Knowledgeably compiled and deftly edited by Peter Bowden (Associate Professor, Department of Philosophy, University of Sydney), "Applied Ethics: Strengthening Ethical Practices" is a 262-page compendium comprised of twenty-one informed and informative articles (chapters) covering a wide range of practical ethical issues cogently organized into two major sections: 'The ethical framework' and 'Ethics in the disciplines'. Superbly presented, "Applied Ethics: Strengthening Ethical Practices" is especially recommended for academic course curriculums in Ethics, as well as a core addition to community and academic library Philosophy & Ethics reference collections and supplemental reading lists.--Midwest Book Review
