This unique volume illuminates the broad kinds of practical intelligence required in moral judgment, complementing the narrower theoretical considerations that often dominate ethics courses. It offers practical instruction in problem-solving by demonstrating how to frame an ethical problem and deal effectively with ethical disagreements. The book also presents ethics as an ongoing learning experience, helping students to deal with both the complexities of their individual lives and with the larger issues that exist in the world around them. The third edition retains the most popular features of the previous edition, including challenging and relevant end-of-chapter exercises; brief text boxes that define key terms and review core strategies; and short dialogues that illustrate ethical dilemmas. The optimistic tone and brisk pace of the narrative provide an entertaining and intelligent guide to "everyday" morality. The third edition includes a more extensive treatment of ethics and religion (Chapter 2), which provides the framework for a moral dialogue that reaches across sectarian divides. It also contains a revised final chapter on the continuously unfolding nature of ethical understanding and an expanded appendix that gives detailed advice on writing various types of ethics papers. Ideal for introductory courses in ethics and applied ethics, A Practical Companion to Ethics, Third Edition, can also be used in any course related to critical thinking. 180246 2001 A Practical Companion to Ethics total:11|4:3|3:4|2:2|1:2| 11 30 14 2 3 0 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 21 10:37:26 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 09:40:34 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Jan 19 23:26:38 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 19 23:27:50 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jun 01 09:34:32 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 01 16:54:41 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Apr 28 10:11:02 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 28 10:11:02 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Wed Apr 08 14:00:01 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 08 14:00:01 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Mon Apr 06 07:51:01 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 06 07:51:01 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Jan 15 16:12:23 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 15 16:12:23 -0800 2009 1 0 false false Wed Jul 02 06:45:17 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 02 06:45:18 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Tue Apr 15 18:42:17 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 15 18:42:21 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Apr 09 15:37:07 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 09 15:37:07 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sun Jan 27 00:58:07 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 27 00:58:07 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Tue Dec 11 08:06:13 -0800 2007 Tue Dec 11 08:06:17 -0800 2007 3 0 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Oct 14 17:10:21 -0700 2007 Sun Oct 14 17:10:29 -0700 2007 1 0 false false Sun Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Wed Jul 25 06:33:20 -0700 2007 Wed Jul 25 07:07:22 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=186470
