3. Within Principles of Moral Philosophy, Fourth Edition, author Russ Shafer-Landau utilizes an intriguing writing style to introduce students to the fundamental principles of ethical philosophy. Providing more extensive coverage of the virtuous life, prescriptive ethics, and metaethics than any other text of its kind, this book also tackles topics that are frequently overlooked in alternative texts, such as the principle of performing and allowing, the principle of double impact, ethical particularism, the satisfaction theory of well-being, ethical fallacy theory, and Ross’s theory of prima facie responsibilities. Shafer-Landau meticulously reconstructs and scrutinizes numerous arguments in detail, in a manner that is understandable to students without any prior philosophical background.

   Suitable for courses in introductory ethics and contemporary moral dilemmas, this book can be employed as a standalone text or alongside the author’s complementary reader, The Ethical Life: Fundamental Readings in Ethics and Moral Dilemmas, Fourth Edition.
