My favorite part of the book by far. Some of them hit the students hard and we get whole classes talking about one of them and it's great. . .I admire Dr. Shafer-Landau as a philosopher, I've heard him speak and know his work, and I think he has created a very good book, which is why I adopted it and used it.""- Brian Baer The text covers theory in a comprehensive, complex yet approachable manner. It covers various issues (abortion, the death penalty) succinctly but comprehensively with an attention to logical analysis not always seen in such texts. The number of issues it includes is far more than anyone could include in one semester, but that provides the opportunity for personalization of the material or the ability to change things up semester to semester. Living Ethics is comprehensive (coving moral theory and applied ethics), and it's well-edited and scholarly. I think this textbook is the best in its class.""- Jeffrey Brown, University of Northern Colorado" Author InformationRuss Shafer-Landau is Professor of Philosophy at University of Madison, Wisconsin Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
