Introduction to Ethical Theories: A Procedural Approach
In this accessible and enlightening work, Birsch introduces the main ethical theories in Western philosophy using a procedural approach that enables readers to make ethical evaluations of cases and issues. This novel treatment provides a well-rounded overview of each theoretical approach and attempts to refute the widely held opinion that there are no correct solutions to moral problems. Some outstanding features include: Introduces each theory with a discussion of its philosophical starting point; Explains the reasoning and conclusions crucial to each theoretical approach; Discusses each theory’s view of moral significance and moral equality; Develops an ethical procedure based on a theory’s moral rules and principles; Applies the ethical procedure to two relevant cases, arriving at the correct, moral solution for that particular theory; Presents the strengths and weaknesses of each theory; Includes review questions and additional assignments for classroom discussions or homework; Provides a chapter-length discussion of the United Nations’ human rights morality.
