The result is a thought-provoking and up-to-the-minute collection, one that New York Times editor Peter Catapano and best-selling author and philosopher Simon Critchley use to showcase a fascinating debate that otherwise would have gone unnoticed. From questions of gun control and drone warfare to the morals of vegetarianism, marriage, and reproduction, this insightful compendium promises to energize and enliven the world of ethical thought and action in both the classroom and everyday American life.
