The text is well structured and the readings well chosen: they are important, interesting, varied, popular and up-to-date. The book serves as a fine representation of essential work in analytic moral philosophy. --Helena de Bres, Wellesley College I think it's a good thing to fit the readings together into a narrative. It helps students see the big picture instead of treating each reading in isolation. {Sher} does a good job with this. --Matthew Strohl, University of Montana, Missoula

This new anthology is the best textbook in moral theory by far. The selections are a judicious combination of the classic and the new, carefully and skillfully edited. - David McNaughton, Florida State University, USA The text is well structured and the readings well chosen: they are important, interesting, varied, popular and up-to-date. The book serves as a fine representation of essential work in analytic moral philosophy. - Helena de Bres, Wellesley College, USA These readings have clearly been selected with great care, and Sher's introductions provide just the right amount of guidance and narrative coherence. The result is an impressively wide-ranging yet student-friendly textbook, one of the best ethics anthologies out there. - Neal Tognazzini, College of William and Mary, USA
