Presentation

End of life, voluntary termination of pregnancy, parentage, lies, doping, cheating and other ethical questions do not only concern specialists or professionals in a discipline. They concern us all. What personal answer to give? How to justify it? What approach to follow?

Thanks to this Small practical ethics manual , Dr Vincent Rébeillé-Borgella accompanies us in our reflection. The author has animated numerous meetings, conferences and discussions on this topic, and in particular for students and health practitioners. This book is the result of his rich experience. It is intended for all those who must make ethical decisions in their personal or professional environment (medical, business, media, education, sport…).

The author begins with an overview of ethics in history and philosophy. With this summary, we become aware of the stakes and the complexity of these questions. He then offers us a simple ethical approach in 3 steps: analyze, believe and act. It emphasizes the role of the Bible as standards / beliefs of Christian ethics. To illustrate this approach, the author ends with several practical cases, analyzed according to two reference frames of belief (religion and reason).

This Small practical ethics manual is educational, abundantly illustrated with diagrams and resolutely oriented towards everyday life. It will not make you an ethics specialist but will allow you to act and be consistent.
