| Description: |
The Fundamentals of Ethics is designed to introduce students to the central ideas of moral philosophy in an accessible and engaging way. It contains several chapters each on The Good Life, Normative Ethics, and Metaethics, and provides more detailed coverage of these areas than is available in any competing introductory textbook. It also devotes attention to issues that are often omitted in other introductions, such as the Doctrines of Doing and Allowing andof Double Effect, ethical particularism, the desire-satisfaction theory of well-being, moral error theory, and Ross's theory of prima facie duties. Shafer-Landau reconstructs and carefully analyzes dozens of arguments in these pages, helping students to improve their critical thinking skills whilemaintaining a level of discussion that is appropriate for those with no prior philosophical background. With a lively writing style and the use of many examples to illustrate key ideas, Fundamentals is an ideal way to introduce students to moral philosophy. Designed to be used as a stand-alone text or in conjunction with Shafer-Landau's The Ethical Life, a companion reader whose contents were selected to provide original source material that explores the topics covered in The Fundamentalsof Ethics . |
| Synopsis: |
In The Fundamentals of Ethics, Third Edition, author Russ Shafer-Landau employs a uniquely engaging writing style to introduce students to the essential ideas of moral philosophy. Offering more comprehensive coverage of the good life, normative ethics, and metaethics than any other text of its kind, this book also addresses issues that are often omitted from other texts, such as the doctrine of doing and allowing, the doctrine of double effect, ethical particularism, the desire-satisfaction theory of well-being, and moral error theory. Shafer-Landau carefully reconstructs and analyzes dozens of arguments in depth, at a level that is understandable to students with no prior philosophical background. The text is supplemented by an online Instructor's Manual and Computerized Test Bank and a Companion Website with student self-quizzes and additional resources. Ideal for courses in introductory ethics and contemporary moral problems, this book can be used as a stand-alone text or with the author's companion reader, The Ethical Life: Fundamental Readings in Ethics and Moral Problems, Third Edition. |
