Ethics: History, Theory, and Contemporary Issues, Sixth Edition, features fiftynine selections organized into three parts, providing instructors with great flexibility in designing and teaching a variety of courses in moral philosophy. Spanning 2,500 years of ethical theory, the first part, Historical Sources, ranges from ancient Greece to the twentieth century and now includes the complete text of John Deweys Theory of Valuation. The second part, Modern Ethical Theory, includes many of the most important essays of the past century. The discussion of varieties of normative ethics continues in the work of major contemporary philosophers, while landmark selections reflect concern with moral language and the justification of morality. In the third part, Contemporary Moral Problems, the readings present the current debates over abortion, euthanasia, famine relief, environmentalism, and the use of torture in interrogations, as well as essays on the trolley problem, death, and the meaning of life. Onethird of the selections are authored by women. Wherever possible, each reading is printed in its entirety.The sixth edition adds study questions after each reading in order to help students delve more deeply into each work and also features eight new selections and expanded introductions. A passwordprotected Instructors Manual is available on the books Ancillary Resource Center.

I bought this book for my philosophy class and it's been amazing. The discussions on contemporary issues really resonate with what we're studying. The historical context provided is also very helpful in understanding the theories. Definitely worth the read!

Perfect for discussions in class
This book is just what I needed for my ethics course. It sparks great discussions during our seminars. The way it ties theory to contemporary issues is super relevant. I think every student should have it on their shelf!

Good content, but arrived damaged
I really like the topics covered in this book, but unfortunately, it arrived with a damaged cover. The shipping took a bit longer than expected too. I’m hoping to get a replacement because the content is worth it!
