      abstract = {"In a visual culture such as ours, movies represent a  compelling and surprisingly effective vehicle for ethical  reflection. Through the stories that unfold on the big  screen-everything from The Wizard of Oz to the Bourne  trilogy-viewers often gain profound insights into the moral  dimension of their own lives. Through a close analysis of a  variety of popular movies, foreign films, and  documentaries, Seeing the Light: Exploring Ethics Through  Movies represents an innovative approach to the study of  ethics and the development of moral reasoning skills.  Initial chapters focus on the human condition as a  springboard for ethical reflection, followed by coverage of  how seven major ethical theories can provide a framework  for analyzing movies for their moral message. Later  chapters reveal how movies help us reflect on ethical  decision-making. A diverse range of classic and  contemporary films are woven throughout the text to  illustrate each argument. Filled with illuminating insights  and thoughtful reflection, Seeing the Light: reveals an  ethical microcosm in the world of film that can help us  think more clearly about the choices we face and decisions  we make in the real world"--},
