Ethics Book

The newly revised and updated edition of Ethics: A Pluralistic Approach to Moral Theory places the discussion of major ethical theories within the broader context of multiculturalism. Separate chapters on "Ethics and Gender" and "Race, Ethnicity and Multiculturalism" further emphasize this focus by illustrating the implications of gender and multiculturalism to enhance our understanding of ethical theory. This pluralistic approach to moral theory integrates the discussion of diversity issues into an analysis of ethical relativism, laying the foundation for a robust theory of critical multiculturalism in ethics. Ethics also offers students a lively and clear presentation of major ethical theories, including ethical egoism, utilitarianism, rights theories, Kant, deontology, and virtue ethics.
