Exploring Ethics Zusammenfassung

Exploring Ethics: A Traveller's Tale Brenda Almond (University of Hull)

This volume is a lively, wide-ranging introduction to ethics. It provides accessible coverage of the main ethical theories which offer the basis for an exploration of key issues and recent developments in applied ethics. The author's approach differs from other recent introductions, eschewing the utilitarian approach in favor of a rights and virtue ethics alternative.

Exploring Ethics Bewertungen

"Exploring Ethics is not only enjoyable and stimulating; it also succeeds as an introduction to ethics without lapsing into the formalized appearance and stuffy taxonomy of a textbook." Raymond Dennehy, International Philosophical Quarterly
