Description
Book Introduction
How should we view and teach Western ethical thought?

We can see that we have traditionally placed importance on ethics and morality.
And now ethics and morality are also one of the subjects included in the curriculum.
So how should we view and teach the ethics (and morals) that have been so valued? This is precisely what the newly published "Western Ethical Thought" focuses on.
In other words, this book explores the question of how to apply Western ethical thought to our educational field from our perspective.

Publisher's Review
The Ultimate Guide to Western Ethical Thought

This book is written by 12 authors currently working at domestic teacher training colleges and universities of education, and describes Western ethical thought, focusing on major philosophers and schools.
From ancient Greek philosophy through Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and the Epicureans, to Roman and medieval Christian philosophy through Stoicism, Augustine, and Thomas Aquinas, to modern philosophy through Spinoza, Hume, Kant, Bentham, and Mill's utilitarianism, and finally to the existentialist philosophy of Kierkegaard, Heidegger, and Sartre, it systematically covers the core of Western ethical thought according to its historical flow.
In particular, each author cites the primary works of each philosopher abundantly, allowing us to approach their philosophy and thoughts through their own voices.
This book, which provides a comprehensive approach and balanced understanding of Western ethics, is therefore an ideal guide for prospective teachers who wish to teach ethics and morality in schools and general readers with an interest in Western ethical thought in general.
Perhaps the purpose of studying ethics is to reflect on the nature of humanity and the meaning of a happy life, and to find answers to the question of how to live.
This book, which broadly covers the core of Western ethical thought, will serve as a guide for readers seeking answers.
