Moral Issues in Global Perspective Book

Moral Issues in Global Perspective seeks to challenge standard approaches to morality and moral issues shaped by Western Liberal theory and to extend the inquiry beyond the context of North America. It includes critiques of traditional liberal accounts of rights, justice and moral values that raise questions about the treatment of disadvantaged groups within liberal societies as well as other societies and across societies. It covers a broader range of issues and arguments than most textbooks on practical ethics. It incorporates work by race, class, feminist and disability theorists that provides new perspectives on issues such as reproduction, euthanasia, censorship, and the environment. The collection places moral issues in a global context by providing selections by moral and political theorists from many different parts of the world.
