It discusses the importance of balancing different moral values and how to resolve conflicts between them. It also examines the concept of moral relativism and its implications for ethical decision-making.The third and final part of the book is practical, and it applies the concepts and theories discussed in the previous sections to real-world ethical issues. It covers topics such as abortion, euthanasia, capital punishment, and environmental ethics.
