Moral Dilemmas

Dilemmas are often thought to be unresolvable situations, typically having equally abhorrant alternatives. In everyday affairs however one must not only face moral dilemmas but live through them by making moral choices. This book is a study of dilemmas, choices, and the process of reasoning that goes into both.Contents: Carol Harding, "The Psychological Reality of Moral Dilemmas"; Marvin W.
