Applied Ethics

Applied Ethics: A Multicultural Approach, 6th Edition, is a textbook designed to fill an existing gap in university applied ethics courses. The collection incorporates diverse cultural traditions and histories to support curricula that draw on multicultural perspectives.

Across core moral debates, the volume addresses topics such as human rights, hunger and poverty, and environmental ethics. The selections also examine war, terrorism, racial discrimination, gender roles, abortion, and sustaining or ending life.

In this sixth edition, nearly half of the included pieces are authored by women to enhance gender representation. The volume also increases the proportion of writings from non-Western backgrounds.
