From the Back Cover:

Unmatched in scholarship and scope, the nine-volume International Encyclopedia of Ethics is the definitive single-source reference work on ethics for students, scholars, and professionals. Its more than 700 entries, ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 words, were written by an international cast of subject experts. Published both online and in print, the Encyclopedia covers all major philosophical, legal, and religious traditions, and addresses the key topics, movements, figures and arguments in normative ethics, metaethics, and practical ethics. The ninth volume features a comprehensive index.

Work on the Encyclopedia was shepherded by an editor-in-chief and two associate editors, and its content shaped by the distinguished members of the editorial board. All entries were blind-reviewed by an independent review board. The result is a work of unprecedented authority, accuracy, and balance.
