Most of his published essays have been in ethics, political philosophy, and the philosophy of law.  The fourth edition of the highly successful \u003ci\u003eEthics in Practice\u003c\/i\u003e offers an impressive collection of 70 new, revised, and classic essays covering 13 key ethical issues. Through the careful selection of essays, thoughtful organization of the sections, and helpful introductions, this book brings together a collection that integrates ethical theory with the discussion of practical ethical issues.  \u003cp\u003eIn addition to covering many standard issues such as abortion, euthanasia, animal rights, the environment, and world hunger, the volume includes essays which discuss less familiar, but equally important topics such as hate speech, drug-use, gun control, and political correctness. Half of the essays have been written or revised for this anthology. Eleven essays are new to this edition, and the sections on theory, reproductive technologies, war and terrorism, and animals have all been expanded.\u003c\/p\u003e The essays are philosophically rigorous yet engaging and accessible to the introductory student, enabling students to think critically about a wide range of moral issues. The supporting website (www.hughlafollette.com\/eip4\/) contains extensive links to sources on the topics, ethical theories, and guides on writing philosophical papers.
