What readers have told me about the First Edition:

"a superb book: my students' learning has defintiely improved since your input into our course!"

"I have found your website and book, Ethical Studies, extremely useful through my Religious Studies course"

Ethical Studies in an accessible, comprehensive guide to the main western ethical theories, their religious connections and the ethical issues of today. Designed particularly for AS/A2 students, Ethical Studies is divided into three parts: the different approaches or systems for exploring ethical dilemmas, the links between ethics and religion and important contemporary ethical issues relating to sexual ethics, medical ethics, war and peace and human and animal rights.

The book includes clear explanations, discussion questions and tasks, extracts from key original sources, help with exam preparation, study skills, a glossary, an index and a bibliography.

The book is intended as a standard class text and the chapters have been carefully selected to cover almost all of the topics on the specifications of all exam boards. The combination of explanatory text and original source material is designed to cater for both AS and A2 students. The extensive questions and tasks should give teachers lots of ideas for class discussions and activities.

The New Edition is 50 pages longer with new chapters on IVF and AI, Christain, Buddhist and Muslim ethics, Environmental Ethics, Business Ethics, Justice and punishment, as well as new sections on Secular Ethics and an updated Internet section.
