Living Ethics: An Introduction with Readings de Russ Shafer-Landau

Living Ethics: An Introduction with Readings

Autor Russ Shafer-Landau
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 iun 2018
Living Ethics: An Introduction with Readings is an ideal all-in-one resource for courses in introduction to ethics and contemporary moral problems. In this hybrid textbook/reader, Russ Shafer-Landau brings moral theory and contemporary moral issues to life with a comprehensive and balanced set
of readings, uniquely engaging explanations, and clear analysis of arguments.

The book balances coverage of moral reasoning (in Part 1) with highly relevant contemporary moral problems (in Part 2).

Part 2 also features a rich collection of pedagogical tools to help students understand and think critically about the various contemporary moral issues discussed:

* Just the Facts: Provides students with relevant factual material, offering necessary background for the book's ethical investigations

* Argument Analysis: Reconstructs and critically assesses a battery of arguments on the topics of the chapter

* Essential Concepts: Key terms that are placed in bold on first mention in the text (also available in the glossary)

* Stat Shots: Visual presentations of quantitative data provide additional context for the chapter's subject matter

* Cases for Critical Thinking: Often taken from headlines, these exercises are designed to invite deeper reflection on issues related to the chapter topic

Recenzii

I love the 'cases for critical thinking'. My favorite part of the book by far. Some of them hit the students hard and we get whole classes talking about one of them and it's great. . .I admire Dr. Shafer-Landau as a philosopher, I've heard him speak and know his work, and I think he has created a very good book, which is why I adopted it and used it."- Brian Baer
The text covers theory in a comprehensive, complex yet approachable manner. It covers various issues (abortion, the death penalty) succinctly but comprehensively with an attention to logical analysis not always seen in such texts. The number of issues it includes is far more than anyone could include in one semester, but that provides the opportunity for personalization of the material or the ability to change things up semester to semester.
Living Ethics is comprehensive (coving moral theory and applied ethics), and it's well-edited and scholarly. I think this textbook is the best in its class."- Jeffrey Brown, University of Northern Colorado
