Lexikon der Ethik

REVISED AND SUPPLEMENTED NEW EDITION OF THE STANDARD WORK

Ethical problems in politics and economics, ecology and medicine are becoming increasingly important and are the subject of heated public debate. This tried and tested encyclopaedia is an informative and at the same time critical guide. Competent authors explain all important terms, directions and traditions. They discuss their context, the underlying problems and draw attention to difficulties and proposed solutions.

Since its first publication in 1977, the encyclopaedia itself has changed several times in line with the historical changes in our ethical orientations and debates. For this eighth edition, it has been thoroughly revised, and numerous articles - including: Abortion, Discrimination, Lifestyles, Solidarity, Technology, Environmentalism and Renunciation - have been updated and important new articles - such as Volunteering, Frontiers of Ethics, Artificial Intelligence, Intersexuality, Conservative, Sustainability, Public, Populism, Ethics of Taxation and Trust - have been added.
