Every applied ethics course requires some brief introduction, survey, or primer on ethical theory and moral decision making. At the same time, spending too much time on argumentation and normative ethical theory can take precious course time away from the applied issues that are the focus of the course. The Applied Ethics Primer offers a concise introduction to both basic argumentation and normative ethical theory. Somewhat more inclusive than many similar resources, this primer offers students a taste of the truly global history of ethics, while still being squarely focussed on providing practical tools for ethical decision making and is appropriate for any introductory applied ethics course.

The journal is founded on the principle of publisher-funded open access. There are no publication fees for authors, and public access to articles is free of charge and is available to all readers under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 license. Funding for the journal has been made possible through the generous commitment of the Gould School of Law and the Dornsife College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences at the University of Southern California. The Journal of Ethics and Social Philosophy aspires to be the leading venue for the best new work in the fields that it covers, and it is governed by a correspondingly high editorial standard. The journal welcomes submissions of articles in any of these and related fields of research. The journal is interested in work in the history of ethics that bears directly on topics of contemporary interest, but does not consider articles of purely historical interest. It is the view of the associate editors that the journal's high standard does not preclude publishing work that is critical in nature, provided that it is constructive, wellargued, current, and of sufficiently general interest.

Ethics is a field of study concerned with the analysis of what is right, just and fair. It is the study of what is right and long. Ethics is an old area of study that has evolved for a very long time. Ethics can be divided into several categories, that is; descriptive ethics, normative ethics, Meta ethics and applied ethics. Applied ethics deals with the study of ethics in a particular field of specialization each the study of business ethics. Normative ethics is the study of ethics has it ought to be while descriptive ethics is the study of ethics as it is presently. Ethics is a universal concept which cuts across various fields. It is a controversial concept as it deals with what is right and wrong. The challenge here is that what is right to one party may not be right to another. This is purely the concept influenced by the norms and cultures of a people. Ethics is however not morality although most ethical principles are derive from morality. Ethics is related to law although whatever that is legal may not always be ethical, for example smoking and alcohol drinking. There is no standard form of ethics. As a result various ethical theories have been advanced to explain the essence of ethics. Ethics has also been institutionalized and introduced as a discipline in various institution of learning especially the higher learning institutions like universities and colleges. This has resulted in the development of the discipline as the interested scholars are making their efforts to research and publish more about the ethics discipline. This has enabled the advancement of the various fundamental ethical theories that had been advanced earlier by the initial scholars (Hatfield, 1989)

The development of applied ethics in recent decades has had great significance for philosophy and society. In this article, I try to characterise this field of philosophical inquiry. I also discuss the relation of applied ethics to social policy and to professional ethics. In the first part, I address the following questions: (1) What is applied ethics? (2) When and why did applied ethics appear? and (3) How do we engage in applied ethics? What are the methods? In the second part of the article, I introduce professional ethics. What is professional ethics, and how can one distinguish professional ethics from applied ethics? I argue that the moral content of professional ethics is a result of professional relations. I also argue that professional ethics best can be understood as a type of virtue ethics.

This is a substantial introduction to the book, New Essays in Applied Ethics: Animal Rights, Personhood and the Ethics of Killing (UK: Palgrave Macmillan, 2007). Besides the summary of each essay, what may be of particular interest is the author's view on the nature of applied ethics, and what the term "applied ethics" may be a misnomer (and hence the term "practical ethics" is to be preferred).

Ethical Subjects in Contemporary Culture, 2013

Taking his lead from the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas, and engaging with a number of ethical thinkers, Dave Boothroyd addresses a number of key contemporary ethical subjects. In doing so, he reveals how responsibility is grounded in the everyday encounters and situations we are all familiar with. It pays particular attention to the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas. It engages with a number of important theorists of ethics and culture: Nietzsche, Heidegger, Lacan, Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze, Irigaray, Nancy and Badiou. It focuses on ethical concerns from hospitality and obligation, through friendship and love, to torture, death and justice.
