Ethics provide us with a moral center, and give us a sense of good and bad, but they are always in the eye of the beholder. This essential volume will help readers navigate through the endless debates about ethics. Divergent viewpoints are shared as each topic is discussed, proving readers with more than one intelligent opinion to consider. Readers will explore the basis for ethics, and examine changing boundaries and secular values. The essays cover what ethics should guide decisions about life, including the morally relevant moments of life, and in aiding in death decisions and health care. Essays also debate how ethics should guide economic policies like the free market and minimum wage.
Like all collections of essays by multiple authors, some of the chapters were great, some were meh, and several were just downright poorly argued and not worth finishing. I was very pleasantly surprised that almost none of the essays were just vacuous talking points. The collection as a whole was quite thought provoking. A good way to get back into that way of thinking and reading.
