Product Description
Firmly established as the standard text for undergraduate courses in ethics, this concise, lively book takes the reader on an in-depth tour of the major moral theories, always illustrating abstract ideas with concrete examples. Separate, self-contained chapters examine such theories as Egoism, Kantianism, Utilitarianism, Virtue Ethics, and the Social Contract Theory. Through this conceptual framework, the text addresses timely and provocative issues, including abortion, racism, euthanasia, poverty, marijuana, homosexuality, the death penalty, and vegetarianism. The text's versatility makes it an ideal choice for use not only in ethical theory courses, but also in applied ethics courses of all kinds.

 What a horrible book March 18, 2010

The way the author approachs morality is horrible. He is often illogical, subjective, and just plain wrong most of the time. Here's a hint... (there is no such thing as right or wrong...). The theories he tries to prove wrong are all actually pointing to the same big idea, zoom out and try to figure it out yourself.
Thanks January 3, 2010
