Description

Product Description The Historical Dictionary of Ethics covers a very broad range of ethical topics, including ethical theories, historical periods, historical figures, applied ethics, ethical issues, ethical concepts, non-Western approaches, and related disciplines. Harry J. Gensler and Earl W. Spurgin tackle such issues as abortion, capital punishment, stemcell research, and terrorism while also explaining key theories like utilitarianism, natural law, social contract, and virtue ethics. This reference provides a complete overview of ethics through a detailed chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 200 cross-referenced dictionary entries, including bioethics, business ethics, Aristotle, Hobbes, autonomy, confidentiality, Confucius, and psychology. Review Gensler and Spurgin offer a nontechnical and broadly accessible encyclopedia of concepts, persons, schools of thought, controversies, and terminology associated predominantly, but not exclusively, with the Western ethical tradition. The 283 amply cross-referenced entries are generally fluent and direct, and the authors take few interpretive liberties, in conformity with a nonspecialist readership....Recommended.--CHOICE, February 2009 The bibliography...is very comprehensive....
