A 21st Century Ethical Toolbox by Anthony Weston
Thoroughly optimistic, A 21st Century Ethical Toolbox, Fifth Edition, invites students to approach ethical issues with a reconstructive intent--to make room for more and better options than the rigid "pro" and "con" positions that have developed around tough problems like abortion, climate change, and racism. Employing an accessible, consistently engaging writing style, Anthony Weston and Bob Fischer cover the skills that are vital to making real progress in ethics, including critical thinking, creative problem-solving, moral vision, and genuine dialogue. Provocative selections from a wide range of philosophers, essayists, activists, and students are interwoven with the authors' own discussions. Now for the first time, a comprehensive suite of digital resources is available for this title, including an Instructor's Manual with chapter outlines and lecture suggestions, a Test Bank including multiple choice and essay questions, and Suggested Resources and Web Links. The text is further enhanced by extensive "Exercises and Notes" sections at the end of each chapter and new and expanded "Going Farther" sections between many chapters. Join instructors and students around the country who are using the experiential and applied activities inspired by this "toolbox" of skills to design interactive and collaborative ethics courses.
“This is the best textbook in any philosophical subject that I have readIt goes beyond a summary of arguments and presents a moral vision itself * one that encourages inquiry and is open to criticism.” -MARTIN A. COLEMAN, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis *
“Weston stands above the competition because of his emphasis on developing practical skills for navigating a complex, interrelated world. He includes a wide range of ethical approaches-from Kant to the Lakota to Confucius-and provides the best range of exercises and pedagogical devices that I have seen.” -TAYO BASQUIAT, Bismarck State College
“You will not find any other text for an introductory ethics course that does more to interest, engage, and activate your students in living with ethical responsiveness to the world.” -JAMES H. VANDERMAY, Mid Michigan College
