Synopsis

Contemporary Debates in Applied Ethics features pairs of newly commissioned essays by some of the leading theorists working in the field today. The book brings together fresh debates on eleven of the most controversial issues in applied ethics. The topics addressed include abortion, affirmative action, animals, capital punishment, cloning, euthanasia, immigration, pornography, privacy in civil society, values in nature, and world hunger. The lively debate format sharply defines the issues, and paves the way for further discussion. It will serve as an accessible introduction to the major topics in applied ethics, whilst also capturing the imagination of professional philosophers.

Media Reviews
It's hard to think of a better general introduction to contemporary debates in applied ethics and public policy. The editors have enlisted well-known philosophers to pair off on particular controversies, and they do so ably and instructively. This volume will work well as a textbook for university courses. Christopher Morris, University of Maryland Great writers joining debate on great topics. Cohen and Wellman have assembled an admirably compact volume, given its breadth. It will be of considerable service to teachers of moral problems courses and to anyone with an interest in the cutting edge of applied ethics. David Schmidtz, University of Arizona
