Analyzing Moral Issues ISE

In Analyzing Moral Issues, the author continues to combine a moral-issues approach to teaching ethics with a solid foundation in moral theory and reasoning. The 8th edition updates reflect the most recent global events: the election of Biden to the U.S. presidency, the COVID pandemic, new challenges to Roe v. Wade and access to abortion, and the war in Ukraine. Analyzing Moral Issues anchors students' understanding of ethics in a broad perspective of traditions, including virtue ethics (Aristotelian and Confucian, Buddhist and feminist care ethics), deontology, utilitarianism, and Rawlsian ethics. Using primary source material and cases to illustrate these traditions gives students the opportunity to practice making real-life moral decisions. Analyzing Moral Issues also can be customized (as a print or ebook) to include selections from Discourses, McGraw Hills collection of more than 450 classical and contemporary philosophy readings.
