Applied Ethics Anecdotes lies at the core of Ethical Adjudication methods. Moral philosophers have traditionally aspired to normative theories of what is right or wrong that are stated in the most general terms. But a practical price is paid for generality in ethical theory: it is often unclear whether and if theories are to be applied in specific cases and contexts. Philosophers interested in applying their training to such problems share with persons from numerous other fields a conviction that decision making in these areas is fundamentally moral and of the highest social importance. [These] philosophers' work in applied ethics involve actual applications. This means taking real or hypothetical cases and analyzing them to decide which course of action is the moral highroad based on formal theories of morality. This method is called Ethical Adjudication. In this we illustrate Ethical Adjudication through examples called Episodes.
