The Practice of Ethics cover

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).
