The Eighth Edition applies theoretical material to business, medicine, the environment, and the media, with numerous examples and cases.
"This text is perfect for students who have no background in philosophy" — Dr. Marlene San Miguel Groner, SUNY Farmingdale
"I think the text is an excellent one. The information is well organized. Students can easily understand the different types of theories. The outlines at the end of each chapter are especially helpful .... Students with little or no background in ethics find it easy to understand and really appreciate the application of theories to real-world problems." — Beth Rene' Roepnack, DeVry University, Georgia
Dear Colleague, The importance of teaching ethics in higher education has never been greater. In our rapidly changing, globally expanding world, key challenges and problems revolve around fundamental issues in ethics. Leadership in such a world demands courage, commitment, character and good ethical reasoning skills to address these challenges head on. With the eleventh edition of Ethics: Theory and Practice I wish to acknowledge the significant contributions made by all involved in the teaching of ethics courses who engage students with the core issues of our time. Ethics: Theory and Practice is utilized by many professors in their ethics courses and I invite you to review the eleventh edition. The book is divided into eight chapters of ethical theory balanced by eight chapters of applied ethics. It also includes eight appendices. The text is comprehensive, and each chapter features a chapter summary, many exercises with suggestions for paper topics and ethics projects, and a list of discussion questions and an ethics problem. In addition, each chapter on applied ethics includes many case studies. Plus at the text of the text, a substantial list of supplementary readings is included along with a complete glossary of ethical terms. The eleventh edition is also accompanied by www.MyThinkingLab, an online website that houses an eBook version of the print text, case studies, videos, additional readings, quizzes and more! I would like to thank the many professors who use Ethics: Theory and Practice and the new reviewers of this textbook. Your comments and constructive recommendations are always welcome and will help make future editions better. I'm also interested in hearing about the innovative ways that you use the book in your classes, successful pedagogical techniques, and student reactions.
