- Summary:
- Many higher education institutions are in the process of setting up new courses and curricula devoted to societal demands and the moral aspects of human action, and, specifically in veterinary, agronomy and science studies, to animal bioethics. In this text, 35 European academics and ethicists contribute 18 chapters directed to teachers, students, professionals, and other individuals wishing to develop skills for communication and moral reasoning. Following a section addressing the fundamental aspects of animal bioethics, the remaining chapters explore objectives, strategies and methods of teaching and communication, including ways to increase sensitivity and awareness, to develop skills in moral reasoning and judgment for problem solving, and to shape the moral psychology and moral behavior of individuals.
