Long-hailed for skilled editing that enables students to explore many seminal and complex primary sources that contribute to the canon of ethical theory, GREAT TRADITIONS IN ETHICS has become the standard historical anthology for introducing ethical theory. Combining informative chapter introductions that provide biographical, historical, and theoretical contexts; well-placed comments inserted within the readings; and ample, but not overwhelming, reading selections, GREAT TRADITIONS IN ETHICS constructively challenges students to critically engage the most crucial ideas, thinkers, and readings in the history of ethical theory. With the Twelfth Edition, the authors focus on supplementing the readings with discussions of applying ethical theories'within the chapters and in the text's expanded Appendix.
