The Moral World is a comprehensive introduction to the diverse perspectives of major ethical thinkers and theories. The book explores Eastern, Western, religious, and secular views of ethics and helps students understand when and how to participate in ethical discussions.


The text is rooted in normative ethics-the various theories of ethics created by thinkers to let us know how to behave toward one another. The five sections of the book address religious morality and transcendence, virtue ethicists, rational norms and secular morality, ethics and social change, and issues in medical ethics. As students engage with these overarching concepts, they are exposed to the writings of great philosophical thinkers ancient and contemporary, including Aristotle, Maimonides, Avicenna, Bentham, Rand, Marx, King, Gandhi, and the Dalai Lama.
