Description
Puzzles about Human Rights is an ideal primary or supplemental text for college students taking an ethics course, and will be of interest to anyone who cares about human rights. The book consists of twenty-three puzzles - either real-life or hypothetical scenarios that raise moral dilemmas relating to human rights. The puzzles address terrorism, desecration of the flag, academic freedom, legalization of drugs, abortion, gay marriage, the death penalty, civil disobedience, and many other topics. These topics are explored through the lens of ethical theories such as utilitarianism and Kantian ethics, and each puzzle ends with some questions for ethical reflection. The writing is thought-provoking, clear, and concise, and has a storytelling quality that readers will find engaging.
Timothy Eves received his Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Connecticut in 1993 and is now an Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Bridgeport. He teaches a wide range of ethics courses, including Human Rights, Animal Rights, and Health Care Ethics.
