The aim of this series is to bring together important recent writings in major areas of philosophical inquiry, selected from a variety of sources, mostly periodicals, which may not be conveniently available to the university student or the general reader. The editor of each volume contributes an introductory essay on the items chosen and on the questions with which they deal. A selective bibliography is appended as a guide to further reading. The essays in this collection cover a range of issues of urgent practical concern in the field of ethics, including nuclear war and world famine, abortion and euthanasia, and the moral status of animals.

Reviews for Applied Ethics

An impressive line-up. The book is everything it purports to be. For someone who wants a short collection of many of the seminal and influential essays in applied philosophy, one probably can't do better than this. --Teaching Philosophy<br> Excellent, provocative. --M.B. Montgomery, Drexel University<br> The students in my introductory course respond enthusiastically to this book. --M.A. Box, Dickinson State University<br> Excellent collection of some of the world's greatest contributors-past and present-to civilization! I am thoroughly impressed. --Susan B. Dickey, Temple University<br> One of the best collections of readings both in terms of scope and aptness. Could be used as a foundation text in any course in applied ethics. --Manuel M. Davenport, Texas A&M University<br>
