Praise for ETHICS in PRACTICE
'This new edition of Ethics in Practice offers a cornucopia of 72 expertly-edited texts - both canonical and contemporary - on a wonderfully wide selection of topics in moral theory and applied ethics. Students, teachers, and researchers will find in it a practically endless source of thought-provoking and conversation-sparking readings.'
-STUART GREEN, Distinguished Professor of Law, Rutgers University
'Those of us who write and teach in practical ethics owe a debt of gratitude to Hugh LaFollette for assembling this superb collection of important contributions to the core theoretical questions and pressing contemporary issues in moral philosophy.'
-CHRISTOPHER HEATH WELLMAN, Washington University in St. Louis
Ethics in Practice has guided students through the ethical dimensions of controversial debates for more than two decades, providing the knowledge required to confront difficult questions in various practical moral contexts. Now in its sixth edition, this field-defining textbook explores a wide range of global, local, and personal ethical issues while presenting the historical basis of key developments in ethical theory.
Editor Hugh LaFollette, highly regarded for his contributions in the field of practical ethics, critically integrates ethical theory with discussion of applied examples of economic injustice, discrimination, incarceration, genetic modification, gun control, torture, euthanasia, hate speech, and more. Throughout the book, student-friendly introductions clarify complex concepts and highlight the theoretical and practical aspects of each issue discussed.
This new edition is fully revised to reflect the latest empirical evidence and applications, including new and updated case studies, examples, data, and references. Entirely new essays address topics such as punishment, sentencing, assassination, the environment, epistemic vices, pragmatic ethics, biomedical technologies, and abortion in the post-Dobbs era.
