Understand Ethics introduces the main ethical theories and key thinkers, to show how people have argued in the past. But it also examines modern ethical issues and case studies. It is aimed at the general reader, at A level students, and at those who are thinking about, or preparing for, the start of a university course including ethics.

 

The most recent editions include sections on Feminism, Genetics, Business Ethics and Environmental Ethics, as well as a chapter on scepticism and relativism in ethics.

Earlier editions of Understand Ethics were published as Teach Yourself Ethics. The book remains substantially the same, but new features have been added and the text has been revised.

 

---------------------

In my view, ethics is the most relevant of all subjects - it is fundamental to living the good life in every sense.  I have particularly enjoyed up-dating this book to including more recent examples of moral issues.  But ethics is always moving on - the theories and principles remain the same, but the issues and their relative importance are always changing.
