"Ideal for introductory ethics courses, The Moral Life: An Introductory Reader in Ethics and Literature, Fifth Edition, brings together an extensive and varied collection of ninety-one classical and contemporary readings on ethical theory and practice. Integrating literature with philosophy in an innovative way, this unique anthology uses literary works to enliven and make concrete the ethical theory or applied issues addressed. It also emphasizes the personal dimension of ethics, which is often ignored or minimized in ethics anthologies. The readings are enhanced by chapter introductions, study questions, suggestions for further reading, and biographical sketches. The fifth edition adds ten new readings, eight of which appear in two new chapters: Feminist Ethics and the Ethics of Care and Global Economic Justice. An updated Companion Website at www.oup.com/us/pojman provides self-quizzes, essay questions, and helpful links for students and reading summaries, a test bank, and PowerPoint-based lecture slides for instructors"-- "This fifth edition of The Moral Life continues the text's tradition of combining literature and philosophy to deepen students' understanding of moral concepts and issues.

read only the selections for class...i'm planning to actually sit down and read this... ( )

I think this is probably the book I read in my philosophy courses that influenced me the most -- though almost certainly not in the way the editor and most of the authors intended. I reflected while reading these essays and excerpts, and came to realize that it was all nonsense. So yay for that. ( )
