IMPROVE CRITICAL THINKING

• Visits the main mileposts of western moral canon, but goes further and shows the reason why these theories are part of the canon. The book demonstrates that the great contributions of western moral philosophy are positions a reflective person may naturally arrive at when reasoning in good faith about concrete moral problems.
• Focuses on the basic arguments in moral philosophy that are most relevant to business practice. The book covers;

               o  whether reasoned argument about ethics is possible at all (Chapters 1 and 2);

               o  whether moral questions can be satisfactorily answered with reference to the virtues, social roles, and cultural conventions (Chapters 3 and 4);

               o  the claim that consequences–in particular for people’s well-being–are all that matter morally (Chapters 5 to 7);

               o  the disputed need for rights and how to justify and specify them (Chapters 8 to 12 , which include discussions of distributive justice and social contract theory).

ENGAGE STUDENTS

• Engages the reader in the process of moral reasoning and not merely its product. The book focuses on how philosophical ideas are justified and developed rather than just presenting and applying them.
• Each chapter ends with a “Summary of the argument in this chapter”, which gives a roadmap to the book as well as enables instructors to judge easily whether to use the book as a whole or excerpt individual parts.
• An appendix gives further references and suggestions for supplementary material to match the text.
