Ethics in Context: Towards the Definition and Differentiation of the Morally Good (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781450276399)

Ethics is burdened with an overload of theoretical and practical questions which belong more properly in the sphere of aesthetics, religion, politics, and/or law. This book is concerned with separating what is strictly ethical and what is not. It paves the way for a clear definition of the "moral good" and also for some final practical conclusions regarding the proper categorization and treatment of contemporary moral problems such as abortion, pornography, and nuclear escalation.
