Living Philosophy: An Introduction to Moral Thought - Softcover
The second edition of this witty and open-minded introduction presupposes no previous knowledge of philosophy. In a non-technical style, Ray Billington discusses general issues in ethics and the various approaches to moral problems posed in philosophy and religion. Each chapter has accompanying case studies constructed around problems that occur in everyday life.
Ray Billington has made a number of changes in this second edition. In particular, he has thoroughly revised, updated and substantially increased the number of case studies.
