Living Philosophy: An Introduction to Moral Thought, 3rd Edition
by Ray Billington (Routledge) is a thoroughly
revised and updated version of its highly successful and popular predecessor.
Incorporating several brand new case studies and discussion points, the book
introduces central questions in ethical theory to the student and assumes no
previous knowledge of philosophy.
Each chapter deals with a particular ethical issue and has an accompanying case
study designed to encourage discussion. New topics raised include genetically
modified organisms (GMO), environmental ethics, bioethics and the human genome,
as well as a new chapter on religious and cultural relativism in the light of
September 11th. Ray Billington's style is at once refreshing and honest and his
approach to the subject is always clear. The coverage of the book is tailored
for any introductory course in ethics.
