Product Description
In contrast to most texts designed to introduce students to contemporary moral problems, this book is designed to present students with a method for how to think for themselves in a morally reasoned fashion. Honing students' critical thinking skills through continuous reference to a step-by-step method of moral analysis, this text covers not only many timely moral problems associated with life and death, social justice, and sex and reproduction, but many major ethical theories as well, such as utilitarianism, deontology, virtue ethics, and egoism. Building on the methodology and critical successes of his THINKING CRITICALLY ABOUT PHILOSOPHICAL PROBLEMS (Wadsworth 2002), Wall's new book provides students with clear and readily accessible models of rigorous moral analysis to guide their own deliberations about the most crucial moral issues of our time.

This book is extremely hard to get into, as the author is very repetitive and takes forever to get to his often weak points. For the most part it is written in the first person, making it more of "Wall's Personal Ideas While Thinking Critically About Moral Problems" than a book that gets you to think for you own about ethics. There is too much of the own author's bias to make it a school textbook, but that's what a lot of schools have apparently done.
