Moral Imagination Confronting the Ethical

From Simon & Schuster, Moral Imagination is Edward Tivan's writings on confronting the ethical issues of our day.

When it comes to the most controversial moral questions of our lives - abortion, euthanasia, suicide, capital punishment, racial justice, and affirmative action - there is a right and wrong, but no one owns the truth. This book guides us through the opposing arguments on these profound issues, opening up ways for our pluralistic society to think about them.

Edward Tivnan is the author of The Lobby and has written for Time, The New York Times Magazine, and many other major national magazines. He has degrees from Amherst College and Oxford, and a Ph.D. in philosophy from Princeton University. He lives with his wife and two daughters in Pacific Palisades, California.
