The Ethics Toolkit
Book (italiano):
Paralleling the format of The Philosopher's Toolkit, this volume explains key concepts in ethics, including grounds for ethics (such as aesthetics and character); frameworks (deontological ethics, egoism, and virtue ethics, for example); those relating to assessment, judgment, and critique (fallacies, sex and gender); and the limits of moral reasoning (like pluralism, nihilism, and skepticism). It is meant to help readers engage with theories, concepts, principles, and critiques, rather than prescribe one single theory. They present the ideas and theories of different moral theorists as tools for thinking and action. The text may be used by students, teachers, scholars, and professionals linearly or as a reference, as each entry is cross-referenced. Baggini, an author and journalist, is editor and co-publisher of The Philosophers' Magazine. Fosl, contributing editor to The Philosophers' Magazine, is a professor of philosophy at Transylvania U. in Lexington. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
