<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In this remarkably accessible, concise, and engaging introduction to moral philosophy, Steven M. Cahn brings together a rich, balanced, and wide-ranging collection of fifty-two readings on ethical theory and contemporary moral issues. He has carefully edited all the articles to ensure that<br>they will be exceptionally clear and understandable to undergraduate students. The selections are organized into three parts--Challenges to Morality, Moral Theories, and Moral Problems--providing instructors with flexibility in designing and teaching a variety of ethics courses. Each reading is<br>followed by study questions. <p/>The fifth edition features twelve new articles and unparalleled representation of women philosophers, with nearly half of the essays authored or coauthored by women. A password-protected Instructor's Manual is available on the book's Ancillary Resource Center.

I would absolutely recommend <em>Exploring Ethics</em> to any instructor looking to adopt a new ethics textbook. It is a compact, affordable, and<br>well-rounded introduction to the philosophical study of ethics.--Heath Allen, <em>Oklahoma State University</em><p></p><br><em>Exploring Ethics</em> is an accessible, affordable anthology that provides an excellent balance of classical and contemporary works in ethical theory and applied ethics. The online student resources are really fantastic.--Nathan Stout, <em>Tulane University</em><p></p><br><em>Exploring Ethics</em> far exceeds other ethics textbooks. I have no idea how it is so much cheaper than other options. I tell my students to buy--not rent--this book, because it will be a great resource for years to come.--Daniel Gluch, <em>California State University, Sacramento</em><p></p><br>This is a concise, well-edited anthology that contains many of the essential classics. The thoughtfully chosen selections are very engaging, and the helpful questions at the end of each article will further increase student engagement. The online student resources, including quizzes and flashcards, <br>are also very useful. Finally, this text is very reasonably priced.--Elaine Yoshikawa, <em>Arizona State University</em><p></p><br><em>Exploring Ethics</em> is an excellent introductory anthology for courses in introduction to normative ethics or introduction to applied ethics. The readings are at an appropriate length and are pitched towards an intro class. Further, and perhaps most importantly, the price point cannot be<br>beat.--Elizabeth Scarbrough, <em>Florida International University</em><p></p><br><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><br><strong>Steven M.
