| Summary |
Ranging from philosophical and theoretical ethics to applied ethics, Encyclopedia of Ethics covers people, events, terms, ideas, works, and movements from a global perspective. This one-volume, A-to-Z reference source for students and general readers provides the working vocabulary needed to tackle the ideas of ethical thinking - especially the contemporary issue of developing a moral compass to make informed personal decisions. The encyclopedia includes entries on philosophy (character, justice, self-realization); morality (Jewish ethics, moral development, Shari'a); practical issues (medical ethics, sexual ethics, business ethics); and leading thinkers of all the world's ethical traditions (Confucius, Hildegard of Bingen, John Stuart Mill). Extensively cross-referenced to allow for a deeper and more thorough understanding of each topic, Encyclopedia of Ethics is filled with real-world examples that make the concepts instantly relevant to today's readers |
