Environmental Ethics
- Share to:
Environmental Ethics is one of my three texts on applied ethics that is now being pub- lished by Wiley-Blackwell. The idea behind each of the books, in general, is to present some of the most pressing questions in applied ethics through a mixture of classic essays and some new essays commissioned precisely for these volumes. The result is a dialogue that I think readers will find enriching.
In addition to the essays, there is an ongoing pedagogical device on how to write an essay in applied ethics: using case response as the model. To this end, the major chap- ters of the book are followed by two sorts of cases: macro cases and micro cases. In macro cases, the student takes the roll of a supervisor and must solve a problem from that perspective. In the micro cases, the student becomes a line worker and confronts dilemmas from that vantage point. Some felicity at both perspectives can enable the student to better understand the complication of using ethical theories (set out in Chapter 1) to real-life problems.
Others using the book may choose instead to evaluate selected essays through a “pro” or “con” evaluation. This approach emphasizes close reading of an article and the application of ethical theory (set out in Chapter 1) to show why you believe the author is correct or incorrect in her or his assessment of the problem. In order to make this approach appealing to readers, some effort has been made to offer different approaches to contemporary questions in healthcare ethics
