Practice of Ethics

The Practice of Ethics is an outstanding guide to the burgeoning field of applied ethics, and offers a coherent narrative that is both theoretically and pragmatically grounded for framing practical issues.

• Discusses a broad range of contemporary issues such as racism, euthanasia, animal rights, and gun control.
  
• Argues that ethics must be put into practice in order to be effective.
  
• Draws upon relevant insights from history, psychology, sociology, law and biology, as well as philosophy.
  
• An excellent companion to LaFollette's authoritative anthology, Ethics in Practice: An Anthology, Third Edition (Blackwell, 2006).
