| Zusammenfassung: | "What does pleasure have to do with morality? What role, if any, should intuition have in the formation of moral theory? If something is 'simulated', can it be immoral? This accessible and wide-ranging textbook explores these questions and many more. Key ideas in the fields of normative ethics, metaethics and applied ethics are explained rigorously and systematically, with a vivid writing style that enlivens the topics with energy and wit. Individual theories are discussed in detail in the first part of the book, before these positions are applied to a wide range of contemporary situations including business ethics, sexual ethics, and the acceptability of eating animals. A wealth of real-life examples, set out with depth and care, illuminate the complexities of different ethical approaches while conveying their modern-day relevance. This concise and highly engaging resource is tailored to the Ethics components of AQA Philosophy and OCR Religious Studies, with a clear and practical layout that includes end-of-chapter summaries, key terms, and common mistakes to avoid. It should also be of practical use for those teaching Philosophy as part of the International Baccalaureate. Ethics for A-Level is of particular value to students and teachers, but Fisher and Dimmock's precise and scholarly approach will appeal to anyone seeking a rigorous and lively introduction to the challenging subject of ethics."--Publisher's website |

What role, if any, should intuition have in the formation of moral theory? If something is 'simulated', can it be immoral? This accessible and wide-ranging textbook explores these questions and many more. Key ideas in the fields of normative ethics, metaethics and applied ethics are explained rigorously and systematically, with a vivid writing style that enlivens the topics with energy and wit. Individual theories are discussed in detail in the first part of the book, before these positions are applied to a wide range of contemporary situations including business ethics, sexual ethics, and the acceptability of eating animals. A wealth of real-life examples, set out with depth and care, illuminate the complexities of different ethical approaches while conveying their modern-day relevance. This concise and highly engaging resource is tailored to the Ethics components of AQA Philosophy and OCR Religious Studies, with a clear and practical layout that includes end-of-chapter summaries, key terms, and common mistakes to avoid. It should also be of practical use for those teaching Philosophy as part of the International Baccalaureate. Ethics for A-Level is of particular value to students and teachers, but Fisher and Dimmock's precise and scholarly approach will appeal to anyone seeking a rigorous and lively introduction to the challenging subject of ethics."--Publisher's website</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Morale</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Morale</subfield><subfield code="2">Étude et enseignement</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Ethics and moral philosophy</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Ethics</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Ethics</subfield><subfield code="2">Study and teaching</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Humanities</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Philosophy</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">PHILOSOPHY</subfield><subfield code="2">Ethics & Moral Philosophy</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">PHILOSOPHY</subfield><subfield code="2">Social</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Ethics</subfield><subfield code="v">Case studies</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Ethics</subfield><subfield code="x">Study and teaching</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Ethikunterricht</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4015604-7</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Grundschule</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4022349-8</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">USA</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4078704-7</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Electronic books</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Electronic books</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Case studies</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Grundschule</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4022349-8</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="1"><subfield code="a">USA</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4078704-7</subfield><subfield code="D">g</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Ethikunterricht</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4015604-7</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="5">DE-604</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Fisher, Andrew</subfield><subfield code="e">author</subfield><subfield code="4">oth</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="711" ind1="2" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Open Book Publishers</subfield><subfield code="a">publisher</subfield><subfield code="j">Sonstige</subfield><subfield code="4">oth</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Erscheint auch als</subfield><subfield code="n">Druck-Ausgabe</subfield><subfield code="z">1783743891</subfield><subfield code="z">9781783743896</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="0"><subfield code="u">https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=1622667</subfield><subfield code="x">Verlag</subfield><subfield code="z">kostenfrei</subfield><subfield code="3">Volltext</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ZDB-4-EOAC</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="999" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">oai:aleph.bib-bvb.de:BVB01-033659305</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |

What role, if any, should intuition have in the formation of moral theory? If something is 'simulated', can it be immoral? This accessible and wide-ranging textbook explores these questions and many more. Key ideas in the fields of normative ethics, metaethics and applied ethics are explained rigorously and systematically, with a vivid writing style that enlivens the topics with energy and wit. Individual theories are discussed in detail in the first part of the book, before these positions are applied to a wide range of contemporary situations including business ethics, sexual ethics, and the acceptability of eating animals. A wealth of real-life examples, set out with depth and care, illuminate the complexities of different ethical approaches while conveying their modern-day relevance. This concise and highly engaging resource is tailored to the Ethics components of AQA Philosophy and OCR Religious Studies, with a clear and practical layout that includes end-of-chapter summaries, key terms, and common mistakes to avoid. It should also be of practical use for those teaching Philosophy as part of the International Baccalaureate. Ethics for A-Level is of particular value to students and teachers, but Fisher and Dimmock's precise and scholarly approach will appeal to anyone seeking a rigorous and lively introduction to the challenging subject of ethics."--Publisher's website Morale Morale Étude et enseignement Ethics and moral philosophy Ethics Ethics Study and teaching Humanities Philosophy PHILOSOPHY Ethics & Moral Philosophy PHILOSOPHY Social Ethics Case studies Ethikunterricht (DE-588)4015604-7 gnd rswk-swf Grundschule (DE-588)4022349-8 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf Electronic books Case studies Grundschule (DE-588)4022349-8 s USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Ethikunterricht (DE-588)4015604-7 s DE-604 Fisher, Andrew author oth Open Book Publishers publisher Sonstige oth Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 1783743891 9781783743896 https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=1622667 Verlag kostenfrei Volltext |
