This well-worn copy of “Ethics: Theory and Contemporary Issues” by Barbara MacKinnon bears the marks of a book that has been thoroughly studied and debated. First published in 1995, this text has become a staple in university philosophy courses, guiding generations of students through the complex landscape of ethical theories and their practical applications. MacKinnon’s clear and engaging writing style invites readers to grapple with moral dilemmas spanning from classic thought experiments to contemporary issues like bioethics and environmental ethics. While the exterior shows signs of heavy use, the intact binding and largely unmarked pages suggest this copy has endured as a trusty companion on many intellectual journeys. For collectors, early editions like this offer a glimpse into the evolution of a seminal work that continues to shape ethical discourse in the 21st century.
