Developing Moral Imagination: Case Studies in Practical Morality

The issues may change with the passing of the years, but the categories of concern change very little: sexuality and the sexes; medical decision-making; justice for the poor, the powerless, the underclass; reproductive decision-making; moral decision-making in business; and personal moral choices. Stevens attempts to present alternative positions on hotly debated new moral issues from a different standpoint, using an ethical pluralism approach. In doing this, he hopes to help readers arrive at their own non-polarized positions by learning from and respecting all parties in the discussion.

Edward Stevens received his Ph.D. in Philosophy from St. Louis University. He is currently Professor of Religious Studies and Profession Ethics at Regis College in Weston, Massachusetts. He has written numerous books and articles on ethics and moral decision-making.
