Description
Applied ethics, a subdiscipline of philosophy, lends itself to an encyclopedia format because of the many industries and intellectual
fields that it encompasses. 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. The four volumes
are arranged in an A-Z format, with a complete subject index at the end of the last volume. Articles are written by international experts,
arranged alphabetically by title, not by subject, and cross-referenced so the reader can locate relevant information in other articles.
Audience
Public, corporate, university and college libraries, libraries in two-year colleges, and some secondary schools. Students and faculty
in philosophy and religion departments. Students of science, medicine, government, business,and law. Academic research centers and private
research centers that specialize in the role of ethics in business, religion, communications, medicine, and law.
