Synopsis
In this accessible and enlightening work, Birsch introduces the main ethical theories in Western philosophy using a procedural approach that enables readers to make ethical evaluations of cases and issues.

Explains the reasoning and conclusions crucial to each theoretical approach
Discusses each theory's view of moral significance and moral equality
Develops an ethical procedure based on a theory's moral rules and principles
Applies the ethical procedure to two relevant cases, arriving at the correct, moral solution for that particular theory
Presents the strengths and weaknesses of each theory
Includes review questions and additional assignments for classroom discussions or homework
Provides a chapter-length discussion of the United Nations' human rights morality

Review
"Birsch's text is an excellent introduction to ethical theory, especially suited for lower-division and non-prerequisite courses. It covers concisely but accurately relativism, emotivism, egoism, utilitarianism, Kantianism, natural rights ethics, Aristotelian virtue ethics, feminist ethics, and the UN human rights morality. Each chapter has a nice set of review questions at the end. This is a fine text." --Gary Jason, California State University, Fullerton
"The text is clear and appropriate for beginning philosophy students. I most enjoy how Birsch explains major ethical theories, how they work, and possible critiques." --Ronald Warren, University of Michigan, Flint
