✦ Synopsis

Dozens of times a day we are faced with moral dilemmas, and our judgments and actions are guided by our sense of what is right or wrong. But there are times when we find ourselves facing situations of moral complexity and uncertainty. Drawing on numerous case studies, Ethics in Practice is a practical and absorbing discussion on ethics and moral theory, and will help readers to make better informed, and more rationally justifiable, decisions about how to act and judge the actions of others, where there are morally hard choices to be made in their professional working life.
