Ethics is a part of philosophy that is concerned with living well and choosing the right course of action. The choice of the course of action is based on moral reasoning and there is no single moral theory on which we can base the choices that we make. The application of moral standards in life is also the concern of Ethics. Ethics: Theory and Practice deals with moral theories in Indian and Western philosophical traditionsas well as the debates that centre around their application. The book has ten chapters—the first chapter presents what morality and moral reasoning is; the second chapter is a critical survey of some popular concepts of Indian ethics; the third chapter surveys Western moral theories and the remaining seven chapters cover a variety of contemporary moral issues that are controversial as well as inescapable. They deal with issues like capital punishment, civil disobedience, euthanasia, and women’s rights.ContentsMorality and Moral Reasoning A Critical Survey of Indian Ethics A Critical Survey of Western Moral Theories The Justification of Civil Disobedience Preferential Treatment and Moral Justification The Need for Environmental Ethics The Justification of Capital Punishment The Problem of Abortion The Justification of Voluntary Euthanasia Gender Discrimination and Unequal Treatment of Women
