Description

In this clear and accessible book, Gernot Boehme places philosophical ethics in the context of our individual and social lives.

Arguing against the conception of ethics as a body of knowledge, Boehme defines morality as a matter of 'serious questions'.

In the case of an individual, a serious question is one that determines that person's mode of living.

In the case of society, a serious question is one that shapes our social norms. In Ethics in Context, Boehme explores the key areas of moral living and moral discourse.

He examines some of the urgent issues affecting society today, such as the moral implications of reproductive technology, man's mastery over nature and the right of citizenship. This book is a lucid and engaging guide to ethics, which will be of great interest to students of philosophy and, indeed, to all those interested in the subject.
