The Ethics You Should Know

By Thomas Chai

How should we live?

This is a question ever more relevant in these existential times, and ethics is the subject which seeks to answer it.

The Ethics You Should Know is an introduction to the academic study of Ethics in a language written for the 21st century. Designed to be both accessable and comprehensive, the book explores the importance of ethics, and its potential to become synonymous with meaning. It covers the core traditions of moral philosophy-Consequentialism, Rights and Duties, and Virtue Ethics-breaking down complex theories into clear, practical tools for real-life decisions. Also, by demonstrating the vast connections between Ethics and other facets of life, such as in chapters on economics, politics, and history, this book shows how Ethics should not be considered a rule book of what is "good and bad" but rather a study on how humans can learn to live, and one that drives our social change.
