"Cooper's text promises an alternative which attempts ...to unify the disparate voices and approaches into a sort of lesson plan for motivated and well-meaning students of the professions to resolve their own 'moral muddles.'" — Christina M. Bellon, Ripon College "This book represents the first meaningful choice in this market [of professional ethics]. Most professional philosophers cannot get themselves into a mindset to address professional and technical students. Cooper can do it without dumbing it down. Given the balance between theory and practice, the welcome exposition of Habermas, and the classicism of the examples, there is no competition that I know of." — David Clarke, Southern Illinois University, "Cooper's text promises an alternative which attempts ...to unify the disparate voices and approaches into a sort of lesson plan for motivated and well-meaning students of the professions to resolve their own 'moral muddles.'" — Christina M.

Synopsis
Written in an easily accessible, non-threatening presentation, Ethics for the Multicultural World offers clear explanation of how philosophical ethics has historically evolved as a response to muddle and banal moral decisions based on confusion caused by the plurality of ethical and moral beliefs. The book explains why codes of ethics are important, and why the codes themselves have to be grounded in a broader philosophical context to be useful in multicultural societies. This accessible introduction provides an overview of applied ethics and social pluralism, moral agents, and situational control and professionalism, as well as an introduction to muddle, drift, banality, and subjectivisms verses morality, empirical and analytic studies, moral foundations and concepts, six normative theories and application strategy.

For individuals interested in professional ethics., For Introduction to Ethics and Applied or Professional Ethics courses. Text uses Habermas' distinction between strategic, ethical, and moral reasoning to clarify how codes of ethics ought to respond to the moral conflicts caused by cultural diversity. Argues that professional codes must be grounded in a broad philosophical moral context that presupposes the possibility for dialogue across cultural differences.

    Great transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
