Offering an outstanding balance of rigor and accessibility, DO THE RIGHT THING, 2E provides accessible, impartial introductions to an excellent collection of readings in contemporary social issues. Provocative study questions urge students to get to the heart of the debates. Newly designed for this edition, DO THE RIGHT THING is organized into three sections. Part 1 introduces the student to the leading ethical theories, while Parts 2 and 3 present the current issues including landmark court cases as well as differing viewpoints by not only leading philosophers, but also economists, legal scholars, and scientists.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for any Philosophy minded Christian!, December 1, 2005
This review is from: Do the Right Thing: Readings in Applied Ethics and Social Philosophy (Paperback)
From insightful introductions into the primary sources, you are drawn into the world of the erudite when you pick up this work. Not a light read, but as interesting as they come. The editor does a great job of choosing the sources which he includes, always finding people well versed in the field and picking thier best material. The only warning other than the reading level is be prepared to go deep into what you believe to be ethical, because this one will make you question.
