This enlightening book helps readers internalize the process by which they make decisions in order to, ultimately, set a moral example. Choosing the Right Thing to Do is different because it stresses practice over theory and doesn"t lecture on morality; rather, it provides tools for learning how to do the right thing - a matter that is different for everyone. The author introduces a moral "spectrum" through which readers can view the decisions they face every day. This spectrum is comprised of seven "moral prisms," including:
*the Virtue Ethics prism, which asks: What would the most virtuous person I know do in this situation?
*the Deontological prism, which asks: What would I do if everyone in the world were to do as I did?
*the Egoist prism, which asks: What course of action will most effectively ensure that my short- and long-term goals are reached?
In Choosing the Right Thing to Do , the principles behind these questions are the key to the ability to make the right choices. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Choosing the Right Thing to Do: In Life, at Work, in Relationships, and for the Planet (David A. Shapiro)
