101 Ethical Dilemmas de Martin Cohen

101 Ethical Dilemmas

Autor Martin Cohen
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 feb 2007
Will meat eaters get into heaven? Do trees have rights? Is it ever right to design a baby? What would you do? Would you always do the right thing? Is there a right thing? In this second edition of his thought-provoking and highly engaging introduction to ethics, Martin Cohen brings us eleven brand new ethical dilemmas including:
The Dodgy Donor Clinic
The Famous Footbridge Dilemma
The Human Canonball.
From overcrowded lifeboats to the censor's pen, Martin Cohen's stimulating and amusing dilemmas reveal the subtleties, complexities and contradictions that make up the rich tapestry of ethics. From DIY babies and breeding experiments to 'Twinkies courtroom drama' and Newgate Prison, there is a dilemma for everyone. This book may not help you become a good person, but at least you will have had a good think about it.

Recenzii

'101 Ethical Dilemmas ... is a chatty, jokey journey through philosophical dilemmas ancient and modern ... the philosophy is the real thing.' – New Scientist
'101 Ethical Dilemmas is the natural sequal to that wonderful book [101 Philosophy Problems] ...it's entertainment that trains you to think more intelligently about discerning right and wrong and about how you choose to act.' – Fish.co.uk
'Martin Cohen does a good job of weaving some intriguing stories and classic philosophical ideas and arguments into the discussions.' – The Times Higher Education Supplement

'The book starts with the warning that it is not a guidebook for ethical living. What it does do is plant hundreds of more ethical questions in your mind, fulfilling its role as a light hearted, lively introduction to the subject of ethical philosophy. It may not make you a better person or resolve all your problems, but it's a great work out for your brain!' – Get Ethical.com
'This book has proved to be invaluable in a pilot project promoting philosophy and discussion activities in our school. We use this book twice a week as the basis of group discussions of ethical issues, and it is a great success ... There is something here for students and people of all ages. I heartily recommend this book, as well as [Martin Cohen's] previous one [101 Philosophy Problems], which we have enjoyed equally.' – Michael Brett, Head of Philosophy, Lochinver School
