Ethics with Reasons
No. 51 JANUARY 2015
Is abortion ethically acceptable? What about euthanasia? Do animals have rights? If not, do we still have obligations towards them? These are the problems this book focuses on. It makes perfect sense to think of them together, as they have significant connections with one other. The entire discussion is undertaken in the field of philosophical ethics, which is one of rigorous and dispassionate reflection on what we must do. Above all, we seek to reach carefully thought-out conclusions through presentation and assessment of the reasons that support opposing ethical perspectives. The book reveals the power of philosophical reflection to illuminate ethical issues of the utmost importance. Issues that are often discussed – but, in general, poorly discussed.
