Living Ethics Summary

Living Ethics: An Introduction with Readings by Russ Shafer-Landau (Professor of Philosophy, Professor of Philosophy, University of Madison, Wisconsin)

Living Ethics: An Introduction with Readings is an ideal all-in-one resource for courses in introduction to ethics and contemporary moral problems. In this hybrid textbook/reader, Russ Shafer-Landau brings moral theory and contemporary moral issues to life with a comprehensive and balanced set of readings, uniquely engaging explanations, and clear analysis of arguments. The book balances coverage of moral reasoning (in Part 1) with highly relevant contemporary moral problems (in Part 2).

Living Ethics Reviews

This is an excellent hybrid text that covers a wide-range of topics in ethics, both theoretical and applied. As I said last time: 'This book offers a comprehensive collection of important historical and contemporary readings in ethics covering every major moral theory * along with a broad range of contemporary moral problemsall of which are accompanied by substantial introductions by one of the best ethicists working today.' I stand by what I said!" Joshua Tepley, Saint Anselm College *
This is a very good textbook for a 100-level course. I think it's the best on the market." Jeffrey Brown, The University of Northern Colorado
