This new collection of essays from the series does for modern ethics what \u003ci\u003eThe Stone Reader\u003c\/i\u003e did for modern philosophy. \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e editor Peter Catapano and best-selling author and philosopher Simon Critchley have curated an unparalleled collection that illuminates just how imperative ethical thinking is in our day-to-day life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike its predecessor, \u003ci\u003eModern Ethics in 77 Arguments\u003c\/i\u003e explores long-standing ethical and moral issues in light of our most urgent dilemmas. Divided into twelve sections, the book opens with a series of broad arguments on existence, human nature and morality. Indeed, “big” questions of the human condition are explored by some of our best-known and most accomplished living philosophers: \u003ci\u003eWhat is the meaning of our existence? Should we really “do what we love”? How should we respond to evil? Is pure altruism possible?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlong with these examinations of timeless moral conundrums, readers will find arguments in the more contentious areas of religion and government: \u003ci\u003eCan we have a moral life without God? Does it really matter if God exists? Is patriotism moral?\u003c\/i\u003e Accessible and provocative, these pieces expose the persistence of the most basic themes and questions of moral and ethical life. Many of the essays stress the crucial importance of directly engaging the most pressing moral dilemmas in modern life. \u003ci\u003eShould we be the last generation, knowing all the harm we’ve done to our planet? Should we embrace our inner carnivores, or swear off all animal products?\u003c\/i\u003e From gun control and drone warfare to the morals of marriage and reproduction, readers will view familiar debates in new, surprising lights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe editors have meticulously arranged this book to reflect a wide range of perspectives, voices and rhetorical strategies. By directly addressing some of the most complex and troubling issues we face today—racial discrimination, economic inequality, immigration, citizenship and more—the volume reveals the profound power of ethics in shaping our perceptions of nearly every aspect of our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA jargon-free, insightful compendium, \u003ci\u003eModern Ethics in 77 Arguments\u003c\/i\u003e offers a panoramic view of morality and is a critical addition to \u003ci\u003eThe Stone Reader\u003c\/i\u003e that will energize and enliven the world of ethical thought in both the classroom and everyday American life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluding…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Meaningfulness of Lives\u003c\/i\u003e by Todd May * \u003ci\u003eA Life Beyond “Do What You Love”\u003c\/i\u003e by Gordon Marino * \u003ci\u003eEvolution and our Inner Conflict\u003c\/i\u003e by Edward O.
