Críticas

"An excellent selection of essays on the most important topics of ethics and ethical theories..."--Ivan Boh, Ohio State University "A wonderful selection of some of the great articles and short pieces on ethics."--William E. Hannaford, Jr., Champlain College "This valuable reader is clearly organized, providing students with a comprehensive framework as well as comprehensible introductions to the discipline in general and individual moral philosophers in particular. The work is equally valuable as a primary text, supplemental reader, and/or reference source."--Harold Warlick, High Point University "Excellent and accessible work. Introduction and summaries of articles quite lucid. Comprehensive in range and outlook. A positive contribution."--Ramesh Patel, Antioch College
