Ethics in Context: Towards the Definition and Differentiation of the Morally Good

Ethics is burdened with an overload of theoretical and practical questions which belong more properly in the sphere of aesthetics, religion, politics, and/or law. This book is concerned with separating what is strictly ethical and what is not. It paves the way for a clear definition of the "moral good" and also for some final practical conclusions regarding the proper categorization and treatment of contemporary moral problems such as abortion, pornography, and nuclear escalation.
