How Should One Live: An Introduction to Ethics & Moral Reasoning challenges students to look at their own beliefs in a new light and recognize that a question is often more valuable than its answer.
The text is split into two halves: the first half focuses on the major ethical theories of utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics, while the second dives into concrete ethical dilemmas and explores topics such as abortion, biotechnology, and the death penalty.
The book also features excerpts from foundational philosophical works by Plato, Kant, and others.
Interactive elements throughout the book help reinforce understanding of key concepts.
