Practical guidelines challenge the reader to apply this new ethical outlook to his own life. The book assumes as a starting point the confusion over ethics so apparent in our country at the present time. The authors do not they simply attack the new morality, which both as a matter of theory and in its practical application leaves many unsatisfied and groping for better guidelines. They offer instead a new, viable alternative, an advance beyond the new morality, toward a sounder and more humane ethics which combines the basically sound insights of both approaches to ethics. They begin by identifying the several different meanings of "freedom", three distinct levels of action, and the importance of the social dimension for the ethical question. They argue that morality is, basically, a question of how one chooses. They conclude that the ïnclusivistic" manner of choosing, in which one remains open to the fullest possible range of human purposes and the therefore to the fullest possible growth as a person, is a the morally good one. Eight "modes of responsibility"are identified as practical guidelines for choice. The book concludes with discussions of such matters of particular concern as education, social reform, and religion, all situated in the context of the ethical theory which has been set forth. Each concise chapters is followed by list of discussion questions to help readers explore further the issues raised. A list of redings identifies sources which either complement the authors' discussions or offer opposing points of view. 0aEthics.1 aShaw, Russell B.,
