Questions of ethics - about how we should act, our responsibilities to one another and the difference between right and wrong - have long been debated by philosophers the world over and form the foundations of governments, cultures and religions. 50 Ethics Ideas You Really Need to Know explains the fundamentals of this discipline - and how it is relevant to our lives today - in concise, easy-to-read chapters. Our individual choices affect both our own lives and those of others around us: how we view the world, our religious beliefs and how we behave all matter. Ben Dupré's lively narrative explores how great thinkers such as Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Mill and Nietzsche have grappled with questions of how we should live. Breaking down complex theories into clear prose, he explains how ethics applies to contemporary subjects, including the environment (do we have an obligation to save the Earth's resources for future generations?), poverty (should we send more aid to the developing world?) and terrorism (can it ever be justified?). Covering essential philosophical concepts, including relativism, the golden rule and utilitarianism, as well as considering high-profile issues such as the death penalty, drugs and censorship, 50 Ethics Ideas You Really Need to Know will lead you through the moral maze - and rattle your conscience in the process.
