Facing Ethical Issues: Dimensions of Character, Choices & Community

Everyday Ethics The authors provide here a consistent and systematic method for making connections between those three elements of moral experience―character, choices, and community―and concrete ethical issues. They describe the method that they will use to "face the issues," and then address complex and controversial issues related to: the economy, war and violence, medicine, sexuality, and the environment. Facing Ethical Issues is:―-useful across many denominations. ―a companion volume to the authors' Character, Choices and Community that stands alone very well. ―written for non-experts, especially undergraduate and graduate students. †
