Abstract:
"What is the right thing to do? Answers might come in the form of responses to particular ethical controversies - abortion, capital punishment, what to do about world hunger. Or they might focus on whether ethical judgements are rooted in universal principles; compassionate interpersonal connection; attempts to create the most happiness and least suffering; obedience to God; or the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment"-- Provided by publisher.
