Ideal for courses in contemporary moral problems, introduction to ethics, and applied ethics, Disputed Moral Issues: A Reader, Second Edition, is a comprehensive anthology that brings together seventy-four engaging articles--carefully selected and edited for an undergraduate audience--on a wide range of contemporary moral issues. Striking a unique balance between moral theory and applied ethics, editor Mark Timmons provides students with an accessible Moral Theory Primer (Chapter 1), in which he outlines the guiding principles of moral theory, presents six central moral theories, and relates those theories to the issues debated in the articles. The second edition features twenty-one new readings, including six selections in a new chapter (2) on moral theories; reading and discussion questions after each selection; lists of "Additional Resources" at the end of each chapter; an Instructor's Manual; and a Companion Website.
