Ethical Theory and Moral Practice

Ethical Theory and Moral Practice seeks interdisciplinary cooperation between ethics, theology and empirical disciplines such as medicine, economics, sociology, psychology and law. It recognizes that distinctions between theory and practice are, to a large extent, artificial.
