About the Book

Ideal for courses in contemporary moral problems, applied ethics, and introduction to ethics, Disputed Moral Issues: A Reader, offers a unique pedagogical approach that bridges moral theory and applied ethics. Bringing together 68 engaging articles, it also includes an accessible Moral Theory Primer (Chapter 1) that outlines the guiding principles of moral theory, presents eight central moral theories and relates those theories to the issues debated in the applied ethics articles. Chapter 2 presents nine readings in moral theory that correspond to the theories discussed in the Theory Primer. The remaining chapters (3-15) feature readings on a wide variety of contemporary moral issues. Each chapter on a moral issue opens with an extensive, 5-10 page introduction providing conceptual, historical, and theoretical context to each moral issue and concludes with a Theory Meets Practice section that connects the chapter readings back to the moral theories presented in the Primer. Timmons includes more non-typical topics than are found in competing readers, including topics such as immigration, drugs and addiction, global warming, and cloning. Each selection is enhanced by a host of pedagogical features, including concise summaries, reader cues referring to pertinent moral theories, and reading and discussion questions. A Quick Guide to Moral Theories at the front of the book and an extensive glossary of key terms are also included. A User's Guide, which follows the preface, shows instructors how they can integrate moral theories and applied ethics into their courses. In addition, for the first time, the book will include Case Studies and Discussion Questions, which will appear at the end of every Moral Issues chapter.
MESSAGE: The only contemporary moral problems reader that systematically connects and applies ethical theories to moral issues.
