Problem-Based Ethics

This book is a scholarly synthesis of the current state-of-play in ethics, with a focus on normative and applied ethics. Kahn asks readers to consider even the most contentious of topics like abortion, capital punishment, and euthanasia, from their most basic questions.

Samuel J. M. Kahn is professor and chair of the department of philosophy at Indiana University, Indianapolis. He is author of Kant's Theory of Conscience and Kant, Ought Implies Can, the Principle of Alternate Possibilities, and Happiness.
