Reviews

This is an incredible anthology. Relevant, diverse, and challenging essays tackle some of the most important issues in moral philosophy. I recommend the book unreservedly. * J. Wade Allen, Austin Community College, USA * I have long used James and Stuart Rachels’s excellent reader for my ethics courses. It contains a fantastic sampling of essays by leading philosophers in the key areas in ethics. This newest edition preserves all that is best about earlier editions, while adding some very contemporary and relevant updates. * Matthew Wion, University of San Diego, USA *
