Ethics 101 offers a compact, readable introduction to the central questions of moral philosophy and how they apply today. It traces key ideas from classical thinkers to modern debates, emphasizing clarity over technical jargon.

The book surveys major ethical systems — utilitarianism, deontology, virtue ethics — and touches on Eastern contributors such as Avicenna, Buddha, and Confucius. Short profiles highlight influential figures and their core arguments.

Accessible explanations of classic thought experiments (the trolley problem, the sorites paradox, agency issues) make abstract ideas tangible, while chapters on applied ethics examine bioethics, business and political ethics, professional and organizational ethics, and social ethics.
