Exploring Ethics: An Introductory Anthology

Autor Steven M. Cahn
en Paperback – mar 2027
Steven M. Cahn's concise introduction to moral philosophy offers university lecturers a carefully curated, classroom-ready anthology designed to support both foundational instruction and flexible course design. Bringing together fifty-two readings on ethical theory and contemporary moral issues, this text provides a balanced and wide-ranging foundation for undergraduate ethics courses across disciplines. The collection is deliberately organized into three thematic parts--Challenges to Morality, Moral Theories, and Moral Problems--allowing instructors to structure courses in multiple ways. Whether you are emphasizing theoretical frameworks, applied ethics, or introductory debates about the nature of morality, the text supports modular teaching and selective assignment. This flexibility makes it well-suited for survey courses, themed seminars, or units within broader philosophy or humanities curricula. A key strength for instructors is Cahn's editorial approach. Each selection has been carefully edited for clarity and accessibility, ensuring that undergraduate students--regardless of prior exposure to philosophy--can engage directly with primary ideas. This reduces the need for extensive scaffolding while still preserving the intellectual rigor expected at the university level. The result is a text that helps bridge the gap between introductory comprehension and meaningful philosophical analysis. For classroom use, each reading is followed by study questions that promote critical engagement and discussion. These built-in pedagogical tools can be used to guide seminar conversations, structure written assignments, or support assessment design. They also help students develop core skills in ethical reasoning, argument analysis, and reflective thinking--key learning outcomes in philosophy and related fields. For lecturers seeking an efficient, adaptable, and student-friendly anthology, this volume offers clear advantages: a comprehensive yet concise selection of readings, a logical and flexible structure, and integrated teaching support. It enables instructors to focus less on curating materials and more on facilitating substantive discussion and analysis in the classroom. Optimized for use in undergraduate ethical theory and applied ethics courses, this text is particularly valuable for instructors who prioritize clarity, breadth, and ease of integration into existing syllabi.

Recenzii

The readings/selections are concise and manageable which makes it possible to discuss them fully in a class setting.
It is a lovely and ample collection. Especially great to have primary sources and 'issue' pieces all together.
One thing I especially like is the pairing of primary source material for the establishment of a moral theory alongside a modern interpretation of that theory
A very sensible and standard organization, makes it easy for individual professors to emphasize a historical approach, or to emphasize contemporary topics.
