The Applied Ethics Primer offers a concise introduction to both basic argumentation and normative ethical theory. The concepts discussed reflect the ethical theories that currently ground most professional ethics codes and debates in applied ethics. More inclusive than many similar resources, this primer offers students a taste of the truly global history of ethics, while remaining squarely focused on providing practical tools for ethical decision-making.
