She discusses the major questions thoroughly and insightfully, with reference to historical and contemporary works, and uses vivid and entertaining examples.” \u003ci\u003eElinor Mason, University of Edinburgh\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“An outstanding and highly useful contribution.

If so, what makes one action right and another wrong? Are there moral laws that apply universally, or are certain actions right in one place but not another? \u003ci\u003eEthics: The Fundamentals\u003c\/i\u003e explores these and many other related questions by introducing students to different philosophical approaches to ethics, including moral relativism, virtue ethics, Kantian ethics, divine command theory, and feminist ethics. Lively everyday examples and thoughtful discussion of key moral philosophers and their ideas make this first volume of Blackwell’s\u003ci\u003e Fundamentals of Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e series an important resource for readers coming to the subject for the first time.","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989168767205,"sku":"NP9781405111546","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781405111546.jpg?v=1761783068","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/ethics-isbn-9781405111546","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
