Applied Ethics by David S Oderberg

Applied Ethics by David S Oderberg

Applied Ethics focuses the central concepts of traditional morality - rights, justice, the good, virtue, and the fundamental value of human life - on a number of pressing contemporary problems, including abortion, euthanasia, animals, capital punishment, and war.

"The best accessible guide to “just war” theory, and the whole Aquinas approach to philosophy, is Applied Ethics by David SOderberg, published by Blackwell." Michael Gove, The Times, September 26, 2001

"It is a robust and uncompromising defence of traditional values." Stuart Reid, The Spectator, 25th November 2000

"Not the least merit of Oderberg's treatment of [the themes in Applied Ethics] is attention to the detail of realistic cases. This is casuistry in the true sense, designed to reveal and develop the lineaments of our actual moral thinking..." Anthony O'Hear, Salisbury Review

"Oderberg's discussion of [the] issues is rich and thought provoking. [The] work is, even for non-believers, an important and engaging statement of non-consequentialist moral theory" Kaspar Lippert-Rasmussen, The Philosophical Quarterly, vol. 51, no. 204, July 2001

"...very carefully written work that contributes to the diversification of literature available for bioethical formation and which intervenes critically in the ongoing bioethical debate in western societies." Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy, Vol. 6, 2003
