A Companion to Applied EthicsR. G. Frey, Christopher Heath Wellman John Wiley & Sons, 15.04.2008 - 720 Seiten Applied or practical ethics is perhaps the largest growth area in philosophy today, and many issues in moral, social, and political life have come under philosophical scrutiny in recent years.
