Anotacija:
This specially written textbook examines the extent to which existing ethical theory can provide an adequate framework for the resolution of practical moral issues. The contributors, all leading moral philosophers, provide an authoritative, comprehensive and up-to-date account of recent trends and developments in ethical theory, with special emphasis on current issues in applied ethics. They explain the dominant ethical theories, survey major fields of applied ethics, speculate about the future of ethics, and offer new perspectives.
