The Moral of the Story: An Introduction to Ethics, 5/e

Feature Summary
Female philosophers are better represented in this text than in most introductory ethics texts or anthologies.
The plots of dozens of interesting films, stories, novels, and popular television shows are used to illustrate moral theories, issues, and dilemmas. The outlines of the narratives require no firsthand reading of each story or viewing of each film; Rosenstand gives students just enough information to enable them to engage in discussion of the moral problem presented.
The text features complete and standard coverage of all major ethical theories, and places ethics and storytelling in the context of cross-cultural moral education and discussion. A chapter features applied ethics, including coverage of media ethics, just war/terrorism, animal rights, and the death penalty. Thorough coverage of virtue ethics is also included.
