520 "What does pleasure have to do with morality? What role,
if any, should intuition have in the formation of moral
theory? If something is 'simulated', can it be immoral?
This accessible and wide-ranging textbook explores these
questions and many more. Key ideas in the fields of
normative ethics, metaethics and applied ethics are
explained rigorously and systematically, with a vivid
writing style that enlivens the topics with energy and
wit. Individual theories are discussed in detail in the
first part of the book, before these positions are applied
to a wide range of contemporary situations including
business ethics, sexual ethics, and the acceptability of
eating animals. A wealth of real-life examples, set out
with depth and care, illuminate the complexities of
different ethical approaches while conveying their modern-
day relevance. This concise and highly engaging resource
is tailored to the Ethics components of AQA Philosophy and
OCR Religious Studies, with a clear and practical layout
that includes end-of-chapter summaries, key terms, and
common mistakes to avoid. It should also be of practical
use for those teaching Philosophy as part of the
International Baccalaureate. Ethics for A-Level is of
particular value to students and teachers, but Fisher and
Dimmock's precise and scholarly approach will appeal to
anyone seeking a rigorous and lively introduction to the
challenging subject of ethics."--Publisher's website
