Teaching Ethics with Three Philosophical Novels[electronic resource] /by Michael Boylan. - 2nd ed. 2019. - IX, 786 p. 645 illus., 6 illus. in color.online resource.

Introduction: Using Fiction to teach Philosophical Ethics -- Part One: A very short textbook on ethics with primary readings -- Chapter One: First Order Metaethical Principles: Boylan’s Philosophical Work on Ethics and Personhood Theory -- Chapter Two: Virtue Ethics with selections from Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics -- Chapter Three: Utilitarianism with a selection from Mill’s Utilitarianism -- Chapter Four: Deontology with a selection from Kant’s Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals -- Part Two: The Novels -- Chapter Five: Rainbow Curve -- Chapter Six: To the Promised Land -- Chapter Seven: Naked Reverse -- Appendix: Sample Syllabus and Paper Rubric.

This book offers a unique method for teaching ethics and social/political philosophy by combining primary texts and resource material along with three philosophical novels so that students can apply the abstract principles to real-life situations. A sample syllabus and sample assignments are provided. This second edition contains an additional teacher's manual, guiding instructors in how to effectively put together a course in ethics using fiction. Students often turn-off when confronted with abstract ethical principles, alone. This book allows interaction with philosophical novels that provide real-life situations that mirrors applying normative principles to lived experience. Students will be drawn into this realism and their engagement with the material will be significantly enhanced. This is an innovative textbook for teachers and students of general philosophy, ethics, business ethics, social and political philosophy, as well as students of literature and philosophy.
