Product Description
Product Description
The Moral Life: An Introductory Reader in Ethics and Literature, 2/e, brings together an extensive and varied collection of ninety-two classical and contemporary readings on ethical theory and practice. Integrating literature with philosophy in an innovative way, editor Louis P. Pojman uses literary works to enliven and make concrete the ethical theory or applied issues addressed in each chapter. These works lead students into philosophical concepts and issues such as relativism, utilitarianism, virtue ethics, the meaning of life, freedom, sex, love and marriage, and environmental ethics. Once introduced, these topics are developed further through readings by philosophers. This unique anthology emphasizes the personal dimension of ethics, which is often ignored or minimized in ethics texts. This second edition offers several new literary selections and a new chapter on justice and the threat of terrorism that includes material from the Old Testament--in which the equivalent of a jihad occurs--followed by philosophical analyses by Martha Nussbaum and Louis P. Pojman. Featuring expanded part and chapter introductions as well as biographical sketches, abstracts, and study questions for each reading selection, The Moral Life, 2/e is ideal for introductory ethics courses.
