The author develops an  account of what moral principles are sound, how we can apply them to  complex situations, and what makes it reasonable to treat individuals  in accordance with particular moral principles. This discussion puts  the book's practical conclusions on a sounder basis than much other  work on practical ethics. Most such authors state some general  principles, but say little about why these principles should be  accepted. Moreover, they rarely show how general principles can  generate answers to specific dilemmas. Some even maintain that general  principles are irrelevant. \u003cbr\u003e  Since Forrester is both a nurse practitioner and a philosopher, she  has had direct acquaintance with many agonizing situations in  medicine. \u003cbr\u003e  Summaries of the theoretical conclusions are included to enable  nonprofessionals to follow the discussion of practical issues. The  book will thus interest not only professional philosophers, but also  non-philosophers concerned with problems in medical and environmental  ethics, abortion, and animal rights.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1996-02-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792339182\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-009-1633-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 302\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44481645772940,"sku":"9780792339182","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792339182.jpg?v=1771514031","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792339182","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
