A balance of theory and applications, and a mix of text and readings, Consider Ethics begins with chapters covering ehtical theory, followed by related classical readings. Featuring selections from the world's most influential philosophers, this combination of primary texts and explanatory pedagogy presents the material in a clear, accessible way that does not sacrifice content. Making connections among ethical theories throughout, the texts helps students to engage with the subject matter and to understand and apply theories to important ethical issues. Six Ethical Debates-paired readings about contemporary issues-conclude the book.
