Features
This textbook uses a practical philosophy, anchoring debates in real-life conundrums but pushing the discussion toward substantive issues and integrating appropriate theory into the decision-making process.
The format of the text remains the same. The book begins with a chapter on ethical theory. Every chapter thereafter provides background and content for understanding application. The final chapter deals with moral development.
Every case has questions at the end of each case. The questions are consistently organized to get students to think about immediate decisions, the organizational and institutional impact and role of such decisions, and the larger social and philosophical implications of those decisions.
There are numerous cross cultural references in the book, and there are specific cases that address multi-cultural issues.
