| Publisher Description: Thoroughly optimistic, A 21st Century Ethical Toolbox, Fourth Edition, invites students to approach ethical issues with a reconstructive intent--to make room for more and better options than the rigid pro and con positions that have developed around tough problems like abortion and our obligations to future generations and the Earth. Employing an accessible, consistently engaging writing style, Anthony Weston covers the skills that are vital to making real progress in ethics, including critical thinking, creative problem-solving, moral vision, and genuine dialogue. Provocative selections from a wide range of philosophers, essayists, activists, and students are interwoven with Weston's own discussions. The text is enhanced by extensive Exercises and Notes sections at the end of each chapter and new and expanded Going Farther sections between many chapters. Join instructors and students around the country who are using the experiential and applied activities inspired by this toolbox of skills to design interactive and collaborative ethics courses. |
