"What makes life worth living? Where lies the path that leads to happiness? How does one become the person he or she wants to be? What is justice? These are some of the questions which make ethics a perennial concern since ancient times. Finding the key to a fulfilled and meaningful life is as relevant to civilizations and cultures of long ago as it is to the inhabitants of today's digitized and globalized world. Becoming human, in other words, is an unending task and this book, Fundamentals of Ethics, attempts to help students develop amore perceptive appreciation of this important fact. By linking the past with the present, the old with the new, the theories with real-life situations, this volume hopes to cultivate in them a larger desire to learn well so as to live well." -- Back cover
