What They're Saying
Critics Review
“One of the book’s major strengths is the way that it divides the general topics into specific key debates. This allows students to separate the distinct issues associated with the general topics and think more clearly about each specific issue separately. Overall, I would say this is one of the best contemporary moral problems/issues texts that I have come across.”–Ken Daley, Southern Methodist University
“This is an excellent introductory ethics textbook. Of particular value are the comprehensive and detailed chapter introductions and the well-selected and edited essays from leading contemporary authors.”–Charles R. Carlson, Texas A&M UniversityAbout The Author
