Contemporary Moral Issues

A popular anthology of readings on a wide range of contentious social issues today, Contemporary Moral Issues covers three general themes: Matters of Life and Death, Matters of Equality and Diversity, and Expanding the Circle, which covers issues of inclusiveness. The text contains a number of distinctive, high-profile articles and powerful narratives. Each set of readings is accompanied by an extensive introduction, one reading that is a personal narrative that helps connect students to the more formal arguments in the other readings, a bibliographical essay, pre-reading questions, and follow-up discussion questions.
