Disputed Moral Issues: A Reader Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Ideal for courses in contemporary moral problems, applied ethics, and introduction to ethics, Disputed Moral Issues: A Reader, Third Edition, offers a unique pedagogical approach that bridges moral theory and applied ethics.Bringing together seventy-three engaging articles, it also includes an accessible Moral Theory Primer (Chapter 1) that outlines the guiding principles of moral theory, presents seven central moral theories--including social contract theory, which is new to this edition--and relates those theories to the issues debated in the articles. Chapter 2 presents seven readings in moral theory that correspond to the theories discussed in the Theory Primer. The remaining chapters (3-15) feature readings on a wide variety of contemporary moral issues. Each selection is enhanced by a host of pedagogical features, including concise summaries, reader cues referring to pertinent moral theories, and reading and discussion questions. A "Quick Guide to Moral Theories" at the front of the book and an extensive glossary of key terms are also included. A "User's Guide," which follows the preface, shows instructors how they can integrate moral theories and applied ethics into their courses.

I ended up keeping it after my rental was up last semester, just because I wanted to have a place to reference all the great papers I read over my Philosophy class. It is a good resource for understanding different sides to lots of important moral issues. Instead of dichotomizing arguments as people (and media) are often too quick to do, it really delves into issues and presents authors who come from many different angles and present many different reasons for believing this way or that, so the student can grasp fully the ideas that inform their own belief.
This is a helpful collection of readings in contemporary moral issues, along with a helpful selection of moral theory as well. Perfect for an introductory ethics/moral issues class.
Bought for an ethics class. Had very helpful readings that helped me understand some topics better. Couldn't find it cheaper anywhere else, either.
Very awesome book! Recommend this to anyone taking a beginning philosphoical class! Learned a lot from the book
Good book and in very good condition. Would buy again from this manufacturer
It came before the due date and it was the way it was described
Exactly What I was looking for....Thanks so much!!!
great bargain for renting, this book is costly
