Book Description

0393934284 978-0393934281 December 22, 2009 Second Edition

Used at over 130 schools in its first edition, Doing Ethics now offers more topics and more readings, the clearest, most helpful introductions and pedagogy, and the lowest price among applied ethics texts/readers.

Doing Ethics is really three books in one: a clear and comprehensible introduction to ethical theory, a practical guide for applying critical thinking skills to contemporary moral issues, and an anthology of readings in applied ethics. Substantial pedagogy reinforces core concepts and spurs students’ own thinking throughout.

The Second Edition includes 38 new readings and 2 new topics, but the price has remained the same as the First Edition, making Doing Ethics the best value by far, for students.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Quality, December 29, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Doing Ethics: Moral Reasoning and Contemporary Issues (Second Edition) (Paperback)
Book came to me new without flaws or defects. Bought this for a class online because it was cheaper than what my school store sold it for. At the end of the class I sold it back to the school store for a profit. Can't argue with that.
