This timely collection of introductory essays provides a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to, and survey of, the major moral debates of today.The text follows a logical development from the more personal and immediate concerns of the individual to the broadest and most extensive practical applications of contemporary ethical theory - including the public, medical, professional, legal, social, political, and global dimensions.Topics covered include families, love, gender, children, education, the media, business, genetics, science, psychiatry, crime, death, police, healthcare, liberty, property, capitalism, nationalism, wealth, war, terrorism, animal rights, and the environment. This lively and important volume gives readers exactly what they need to understand and evaluate the diversity of ethical arguments and debates. Each chapter is supplemented by comprehensive notes, reading guides, and bibliographies.Written by leading ethicists and moral philosophers, it provides the ideal basis for an introductory course in applied ethics.

Industry Reviews

"Although the level of Almond's language is too high for many A-level students, her book makes a good revision text for more advanced candidates." Jonathan Webber, Dialogue, 1996

"This excellent, handy collection will be found useful by anyone who wants to show how philosophy is 'relevant'." Richard Ashcroft, University of Liverpool, Society for Applied Philosophy, 1996

"This volume provides a most valuable collection of articles arranged in five sections dealing with family relationships, the professions, crime and punishment, economics and politics, and international and global dimensions. The contributors are leading philosophers and ethicists. There can be few better ways of approaching such a wide range of issues." The Expository Times
