Philosophical
Ecologies: Essays in Philosophy, Ecology, and Human Life
(Humanity Books, 1999)
This book deals with contemporary social fragmentation by applying an
ecological model to a wide range of philosophical problems. Some issue
are environmental, others intercultural, still others about matters of
aesthetics and the place and role of science, ideology, and philosophy
in
our fragmented world. The book relies on substantial empirical
information and sophisticated conceptions of policy making and social
problems and issues.
This socially relevant study redefines the practice of philosophy and
its
relation to the real-world concerns of contemporary society.
Philosophy
as Diplomacy: Essays in Ethics and Policy Making
(Humanities Press International/Humanity Books, 1994)
Unique in its conception of philosophy as diplomacy,
this book covers wide-ranging topics and tries to establish the extent
to which particular positions in moral philosophy, both recent and
traditional, have practical applications to policy making. Many
of the policy issue addressed are related to technological developments
including fetal research, new health care technologies and genetic
engineering, environmental deterioration and its relations to energy
and materials technologies, and high-tech weapons in the post-cold war
international world. But some essays go beyond technology to discuss
policy making problems concerning such issues
as objectivity in news reporting, in policy making, and in theory
formation;
the application of rational choice, game, and social choice theory to
the
actual world of politics; and moral and political issues concerning
civil
rights, preferential treatment, and abortion.
Through
Time and Culture: Introductory Readings in Philosophy
(Prentice Hall, 1994), and its accompanying Instructor's

History of Ideas, this cross-cultural anthology, containing 54
selections and substantial commentary in sections preceeding each of
the book's six parts, introduces students to philosophy as it is

Contemporary
Moral Controversies in Business (Oxford University Press,
1989)
Designed for use in business ethics courses, this text provides a
comprehensive selection of essays on various ethical controversies
supplemented with excerpts from relevant court cases. In the
General Introduction and substantial introductions to each of its six
parts, the book places the readings in the context of moral theory,
encouraging students to apply theoretical principles to specific moral
controversies about a wide range of topics including product liability,
sexual harassment, whistle blowing, labor negotiations, insider
trading, and mergers. Non-technical, "business
language, is always used, and the structure follows the standard
divisions
of the business curriculum—management, accounting and finance,
marketing
and advertising, and international business.
Contemporary
Moral
Controversies in Technology (Oxford University Press, 1987)
This collection of some of the best writings in the fields of

issues, provides students with first-hand materials on a variety of
contemporary moral
controversies in technology. Substantial discussions of moral theory
serve as background for dealing with the issues. Detailed

to each of the book's six parts, a Note to the Reader, and a succint
General
Introduction guide students to think independently about current
technology
ethics issues. A Glossary and a Guide to Further reading help
