Written in the form of a debate, this volume presents a clear survey and assessment of the main arguments, both for and against each of these three central approaches to ethics. In doing so, it represents the first volume to bring these forms of ethical theory into a critical relationship, engaging current philosophical debate on the one hand in terms clear enough for undergraduates on the other. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is an ideal basis for course use in ethics and moral philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990389375205,"sku":"NP9780631194347","price":119.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780631194347.jpg?v=1761787630","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/three-methods-of-ethics-isbn-9780631194347","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
