Encyclopedia of Applied Ethics
4 volumes
The
Encyclopedia of Applied Ethics is based on twelve major categories,
such as Biomedical Ethics and Environmental Ethics. Religious
traditions that embody normative beliefs, as well as classical theories
of ethics, are explored in a non-judgmental manner. Each of the twelve
categories is divided into discrete areas that are covered by
5,000-6,000 word articles. Each of the 281 articles begins with a
definition of the subject and includes a table of contents, glossary of
key terms, and bibliography. Second- and third- level headings, boxes,
sidebars, and the like emphasize the reference-oriented nature of the
material.
