Books by William (San Jose State University) Shaw

This volume combines text, cases, and articles. Two chapters on the nature of morality and ethical theory are included, as well as one piece devoted to economic justice, and thorough treatment of applied issues.

Presupposing little or no familiarity with ethics, this book provides students with a sympathetic but critical guide to utilitarianism, explaining its different forms and exploring the debates it has spawned. It also leads students through a number of issues in contemporary ethics.
