A Practical Companion to Ethics, Fifth Edition, is a concise and accessible introduction to the basic attitudes and skills that make ethics work, like thinking for oneself, creative and integrative problem-solving, and keeping an open mind. This unique volume illuminates the broad kinds ofpractical intelligence required in moral judgment, complementing the narrower theoretical considerations that often dominate ethics courses. It offers practical instruction in problem-solving by demonstrating how to frame an ethical problem and deal effectively with ethical disagreements. The bookalso presents ethics as an ongoing learning experience, helping students to engage constructively with both the complexities of their individual lives and with the larger issues that exist in the world around them.The fifth edition retains the most popular features of the previous edition, including challenging and relevant end-of-chapter exercises and brief text boxes that define key terms and review core strategies. The optimistic tone and brisk pace of the narrative provide an entertaining and intelligentguide to "everyday" morality. Ideal for introductory courses in ethics and applied ethics, A Practical Companion to Ethics, Fifth Edition, can also be used in any course related to critical thinking.

Sadly to say, I'm not entirely sure to accept the second assumption. I have found this text to be almost insulting in the lack of information given. The companion seems to make allegory and non-precise definitions a habit. Geez! If you're talking about Kantian ethics, just call it Kantian ethics! This book seems to talk about ethics in such an abstract way, it's not entirely educational.
I think the text's thesis is something along the lines of "ethics are important," and as someone who is involved in some local academic politics, I can say that in the face of overwhelming STEM education pushes form government, philosophy is wrongly-considered inept or useless, and frankly, this shows in writing of this "companion." Rather than interrogate ethical schools or the idea of ethics, it serves as a lackluster primer for what isn't a strong discussion on ethics.
To clarify one thing, I am a college student (at the time of writing), so if this is marketed towards middle schoolers, I apologize for the confusion. ( )
