3. Optimal for school youngsters with minimal background in philosophy, Ethical Selections: An Introduction to Moral Philosophy with Cases offers a concise, equitable, and exceedingly reachable debut to ethics. Showcasing a notably clear and captivating narrative approach, the text surveys a variety of moral concepts and viewpoints including consequentialist ethics, deontological ethics, natural and virtue ethics, the ethics of care, and ethics and faith.

   Each section of Ethical Selections also includes captivating case studies that are thoughtfully paired with the theoretical content. Many of these scenarios address topics that students can personally connect with: the legal drinking age, student credit card debt, zero tolerance policies, grade inflation, and video games. Other cases focus on contemporary issues like living wills, obesity, human trafficking, torture “lite,” public health care, and just-war theory. The cases offer students opportunities to engage in real-life moral dilemmas, as well as avenues to assess the relevance and applicability of each moral principle. Each case study concludes with a series of Reflection Questions to assist students in pondering the concerns raised by that case.
