Sozialethik

This book provides an introduction to social-ethical thinking and current areas of discussion on social justice. After presenting fundamental ideas on the theories and approaches of social ethics, it turns to central areas of society such as education, labour, health, old-age security and migration. In a comprehensible manner, it explains how a well-founded position can be taken on specific questions of justice. The European dimension and gender aspects, which affect many areas of the welfare state, are also dealt with. By concentrating on illustrative questions and using concise summaries, the book provides compact insights and socio-ethical judgement skills for students of the humanities and social sciences as well as all others interested in sociopolitical issues.
