Everyday Ethics: Ethics, Morality, and Right and Wrong

by Philip Wik

Everyday Ethics is my effort to try to understand ethics. We live in a world of many values and voices. Some bellow from a landscape of moral relativism. Money, power, and celebrity are voices that overpower the quieter voices of tradition. But the paradox is that sometimes the louder voices are the right voices. That popularity isn’t always wrong and tradition isn’t always right is the enduring challenge for those seeking guidance on how we should live. Ethics pervades the way we choose our leaders, raise our children, and how we work and play. Everyday ethics is at the core of our humanity.CONTENTSChapter A Wilderness of Mirrors Chapter Ethical Dilemmas Chapter A Theory of Ethics Chapter Extremist Ethics Chapter Religious Ethics Chapter Military Ethics Chapter How Then Shall We Act?
