Ethics, Left and Right: The Moral Issues That Divide Us by Bob Fischer offers a unique and vital exploration of contemporary moral problems, focusing directly on the ethics of current, divisive political issues. Published by Oxford University Press on December 12, 2019, this thought-provoking collection features newly commissioned essays on twenty contentious debates, specifically tailored for undergraduate students.
The book presents two distinct position pieces on each issue—one reflecting a left-leaning perspective and the other a right-leaning viewpoint—followed by a reply from each author. This structure encourages robust, in-depth discussions on serious ethical dilemmas. Topics covered include critical debates such as the merits of an “America First” approach to policy, the ethics of religious tests for immigration, the complexities of political correctness, the morality of voting, the legitimacy of progressive taxation, and the concept of privilege. Each main contribution concludes with case studies, prompting readers to examine related problems or delve deeper into the presented issues.
