Purchase options and add-ons

With a clear presentation, Ethics: Theory and Practice educates readers about ethical theory and has them apply what they learn to specific classic and contemporary moral problems (lying, cheating, establishing ethical business practices, honoring ethical obligations in medicine, etc.).

 

Jacques P. Thiroux first wrote this text 1977 in order to educate readers about ethical theory and its applications in a way that beginning students could understand.  The result was an accessible text that isn't too technical and doesn't plunge into complex readings without sufficient background.  The text is fully updated with global issues and non-Western ethical views. Keith W. Krasemann now continues Thiroux's efforts of making Ethical Ideas accesible to students. Besides updating the foundations of the text, Krasemann incoporates new and relevant material, most of which is often unique only to this text.

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2014
Whenever I study a text about ethics I expect to hear that religion should not be the only basis for having good moral or ethics. Thiroux and Krasemann were no exception While I disagree with this opinion the authors did make a case that all can and should have ethical training and that it should be in the home as a start but should also come from our educators. Well written. If you're religious don't be offended. I wasn't. The book was delivered on time and in good shape
Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2010
There are two things to consider with a textbook of this sort: how thoroughly does it cover the material, and how well does it manage to communicate that material to the reader? This book succeeds gloriously on both counts. Obviously, if the subject of Philosophy in general and Ethics in particular don't interest you, you won't enjoy this book. But if you have an interest in the subject, and need a basic intro to it, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better one.

Good information, easy to read and understand. Matched course requirements perfectly!
Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2007
Simple to read, pretty basic philosophy text. Nothing to get excited about. It's making the class pretty easy as the chapters are fairly short and the concepts are presented in succinct form.

I needed the book for a class and although I was a bit late in ordering my purchase arrived in time to begin my studies. The book is excellent quality and it arrived quickly. The two critical requirements for me. Great service!

Needed for an ethics assignment... interesting and thought provoking. A relatively easy read- not that I've read it all, just dipped into it and of course there is a more up to date copy out there in the world!
