- Greatly expanded and improved, this successful text introduces students to the major ethical traditions, and provides a simple methodology for resolving ethical dilemmas
- Treats teleological and deontological approaches to ethics as the two most important traditions, but now includes chapters on virtue ethics and the ethics of care
- The very accessible writing style speaks directly to students' own experience
- Draws examples from three types of real-life ethical scenarios submitted by students: academic dishonesty, partying, and personal relationships
- Provides a concise treatment of this notoriously complex subject, perfect for entry-level ethics and applied ethics courses
