      ABSTRACT

      Ethics introduces the issues and controversies of contemporary moral philosophy to undergraduate students who have already done an introductory course in philosophy. It will help students to think more clearly about how to form their moral beliefs in the wisest and most rational way. The basic approaches to metaethics and normative ethics are related to specific issues, particularly those of racism, education, and abortion. Written in a clear and concise way by an experienced textbook author, Ethics will also be of interest to the general reader.
      Unique features of the textbook:
      * boxed key ideas
      * Glossary of philosophical terms
      * Chapter summaries and study questions
      * Annotated further reading and Internet Web resources
      There is an associated website for teachers and students at www.routledge.com/routledge/philosophy/cip/ethics.htm
