Questions of ethics — about how we should act, our responsibilities to one another, the difference between right and wrong — have long been debated by philosophers the world over and form the foundations of government, culture, and religion. Here, in concise, easy-to-read chapters, Ben Dupre explains the fundamentals of this discipline and how it is relevant to our lives today.

Covering essential ethical concepts, including relativism, the golden rule, and utilitarianism, as well as high-profile issues such as terrorism, censorship, and the death penalty, 50 Ethics Ideas You Really Need to Know will lead you through the moral maze — and rattle your conscience in the process.
