<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Ethics: History, Theory, and Contemporary Issues, Seventh Edition, is the most comprehensive anthology on ethics, featuring sixty-three selections organized into three parts and providing instructors with the greatest flexibility in designing and teaching a variety of introduction to ethics courses. Spanning 2,500 years of ethical theory, the first part, Historical Sources, ranges from ancient Greece to the twentieth century. It moves from classical thought through medieval views to modern theories, culminating with leading nineteenth- and twentieth-century thinkers. The second part, Modern Ethical Theory, includes many of the most important essays of the past century. The discussion of utilitarianism, Kantianism, egoism, and relativism continues in the work of major contemporary philosophers, while landmark selections reflect concern with moral language and the justification of morality. The concepts of duty, justice, and rights are explored, as well as recent views on cultural relativism and an ethic influenced by feminist concerns. In the third part, Contemporary Moral Issues, the readings present the current debates over abortion, euthanasia, famine relief, animal rights, environmentalism, the use of torture in interrogations, death, and the meaning of life. Wherever possible, each reading is printed in its entirety. An ARC for both students and instructors will accompany the text. The Instructor side will include items such as PowerPoint lecture outlines, reading summaries, essay questions, and sample syllabi. Student side will feature student self-test questions, suggested readings, and helpful web links"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><em>Ethics: History, Theory, and Contemporary Issues, </em> Seventh Edition, features fifty-nine selections organized into three parts, providing instructors with great flexibility in designing and teaching a variety of courses in moral philosophy.

The introductions are models of clarity and accessibility for philosophy students, in particular for those who are new to philosophy.--Paul Hughes, <em>University of</em><br><em>Michigan-Dearborn</em><p></p><br>The book's greatest strength is its excellent primary resources, which include a great variety of classical and contemporary authors. Students have access to the grand sweep of thinking in ethics and also pertinent information from prominent thinkers of today. The organization is helpful, and it<br>matches much of what I teach in my ethics course.--L. Dean Allen, <em>Northwest Florida State College</em><p></p><br>I have looked at many other anthologies and this really is the best one for the survey course I teach. All of Cahn's anthologies, but especially this one, do an admirable job of abbreviating texts so that they are as accessible as possible, and so that they focus on the themes that carry over to<br>other readings in the collection.--Gary Jaeger, <em>Vanderbilt University</em><p></p><br><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><br><strong>Steven M.
