Applied Ethics: Reflective Moral Reasoning

Author: Susan Dimock Applied Ethics: Reflective Moral Reasoning teaches students to think critically about moral issues. By placing practical moral problems within the context of traditional moral theory, it encourages students to move beyond their pre-theoretic intuitions, to examine the grounding of those intuitions and to think about the implications of their positions for other moral issues. Universal topics such as abortion, welfare, and euthanasia are explored from a distinctly Canadian point of view. The overall effect is a Canadian reader that challenges, teaches and expands the reader's views.
