Ethics Teaching in Higher Education
ISBN: 9781461331407 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. A concern for the ethical instruction and formation of students has always been a part of American higher education. Yet that concern has by no means been uniform or free from controversy. The centrality of moral philosophy in the undergraduate curriculum during the mid-19th Century gave way later during that era to the first signs of increasing specialization of the disciplines. By the middle of the 20th Century, instruction in ethics had, by and large, become confined almost exclusively to departments of philosophy and religion. Efforts to introduce ethics teaching in the professional...

ISBN: 9780521587891 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The moral issues involved in doctors assisting patients to die with dignity are of absolutely central concern to the medical profession, ethicists, and the public at large. The debate is fueled by cases that extend way beyond passive euthanasia to the active consideration of killing by physicians. The need for a sophisticated but lucid exposition of the two sides of the argument is now urgent. This book supplies that need. Two prominent philosophers, Gerald Dworkin and R. G.
