| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc | "In Uneasy Ethics Professor Simon Lee explores five acute moral dilemmas of the new millennium, each of which has caused un-ease among liberals and conservatives alike. His variation on the old adage that hard cases make bad law is to say that hard cases make for un-easy ethics. If you do not feel uneasy about your answers then you have not understood the questions posed by this series of dilemmas." "First, he unravels the moral thinking behind opposing views of the case of the Siamese twins, which attracted worldwide attention in the summer and autumn of 2000, showing how the Archbishop of Westminster argued on ethical principles while the judges responded by using hypothetical 'hard cases'. He then explores sharply conflicting reactions to the release in the summer of 2001 of the 'child child killers' of the little boy James Bulger, asking how we find space for atonement. Next, Professor Lee traces the moral dilemmas within the stop-start Northern Irish peace process which has seen so many twists and turns in last few years. He then relates this to a novel interpretation of politics' elusive Third Way as he turns to examine the ethics of business and government behaviour in an era of collapses from Railtrack in 2001 to Enron, sleaze and spin in 2002. Finally, he offers a challenging ethical analysis of contrasting responses to the terror attacks in the USA on 11 September 2001" |
