      "Creative Morality" is a philosophical study of moral dilemmas. Professor MacNiven describes the critical ethical systems on which the majority make their moral decisions and provides a theoretical basis for the critical discussion of these systems. Western moral thought has relied on two basic ethical perspectives: Utilitarianism and Kantianism to resolve dilemmas. MacNiven argues that no real progress can be made with modern moral problems unless these traditions are coherently synthesized. The book deals with such diverse topics as academic honesty, confidentiality of medical records, terrorism, experiments with human subjects, euthanasia, bribery and environmental issues. The hypothetical dilemmas which are used are all based on real life situations, so that theory might be tested against reality. The solutions are not definitive because, as MacNiven demonstrates, creativity is an intrinsic characteristic of moral thought. This book is a contribution to the development of a comprehensive ethical theory which can address complex moral problems of practical ethics.
