In this engaging and accessible dialogue, four students offer
contrasting arguments on the nature and scope of morality. While
specific social policy issues, such as animal rights and racism,
come into play, the discussions focus on more general--and
fundamental--questions, including: ´ Does morality limit
personal freedom? ´ Is morality relative to culture, or is it
universal? ´ What is the motivation to be moral? ´ Is
religion in tension with secular moral principles? ´ Does
science undermine morality? ´ Can a common morality emerge
out of the diversity of human interests? A glossary of important
terms and suggestions for further reading are included.
