Rather than surveying the standard fare in a typical anthology format, Furrow collects diversified essays around a structured theme: does Western culture face a moral crisis of values? Prominent voices in the humanities and social sciences provide a range of perspectives on a concentrated set of ethical questions dealing with such topics as family values, the morality of capitalism, the benefits and dangers of new technologies, global conflict, and the role of religion. Unlike point/counterpoint books that often oversimplify the complexity of ethical questions, the readings in Moral Soundings provoke critical engagement and help students to recognize and emulate the logical development of arguments-all in engaging and easily accessible language. Readings are supplemented with helpful chapter introductions, study questions, and strategically placed editorial commentary to encourage further discussion and reflection. These features make Moral Soundings an ideal primary or supplementary text for undergraduate courses in ethics, contemporary moral issues, and social and political philosophy.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 233mmItem Length: 156mmItem Width: 25mmItem Weight: 544gContributor: Dwight Furrow (Edited by), Albert Borgmann (Contributions by), Richard Rorty (Contributions by), Steven Fesmire (Contributions by), Christina Hoff Sommers (Contributions by), Edward W.
