Text Book,
By
This review is from: Contemporary Moral Issues: Diversity and Consensus (3rd Edition) (Paperback)
I got this book for a class. I liked the text. I thought it did a good job of summarizing the issues. The excerpts used to define the moral arguments were great. In writing the paper for the class, I had a diffucult time coming up with any other articles that were as concise as the ones used in the book. On every issue discussed Hinman did an excellent job of presenting both sides of the arguments.
