Daniel E. Wueste is a professor of philosophy, teaching in the Department of Philosophy and Religion and in two of Clemson’s PhD programs: healthcare genetics, and policy studies.

This is the best book on the subject I’ve read - it corrects a major deficiency in our ethics pedagogy. Instead of a focus on reasoning alone, the essays present a fuller view that takes account of the role of the emotions and imagination in ethical judgment and moral commitment, and rethink our traditional concept of the student from a reason-centered to an agency-centered account, making ethics more relevant to the world in which our students live.
