Description
"Historical Dictionary of Ethics covers a broad range of topics, including theories, issues, and concepts; historical periods and historical figures; applied ethics; non-Western approaches; and related disciplines. Harry J. Gensler and Earl W. Spurgin tackle such issues as abortion, capital punishment, stem-cell research, and terrorism and explain such key theories as utilitarianism, natural law, social contract, and virtue ethics. This reference provides a complete overview of ethics through a detailed chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and more than 200 cross-referenced dictionary entries, including bioethics, business ethics, Aristotle, Hobbes, autonomy, confidentiality, Confucius, and psychology."--Jacket.
