In this clear and accessible book, Gernot B???hme places philosophical ethics in the context of our individual and social lives. Arguing against the conception of ethics as a body of knowledge, B???hme defines morality as a matter of 'serious questions'. In the case of an individual, a serious question is one that determines that person's mode of living. In the case of society, a serious question is one that shapes our social norms.

He examines some of the urgent issues affecting society today, such as the moral implications of reproductive technology, man's mastery over nature and the right of citizenship.
