Timmons' 'Disputed Moral Issues: A Reader' presents a fine selection of ethical writings from first-rate contemporary moral philosophers, which touch upon the most pressing and relevant ethical questions that are hinged to individuals, society and every facet of nature. Nearly seventy selections of articles from authors such as Immanuel Kant, Pope John Paul II and Peter Singer (only to name a few), are here accessible in a textbook format which provides pithy summaries for each excerpt and a lengthy preface which, in scrupulous detail, defines the scope and meaning of all the predominant moral theories, per se. For each moral issue, Timmons generally provides readers with about five articles per moral problem, so that there are five possible solutions to the issue at hand, making this textbook very comprehensive and informative. Additionally, outside of its value of being an instructional textbook, Timmons 'Disputed Moral Issues' is to be desired also as a virtual library resource that thinkers may have recourse to when faced with the issues of the greatest import in today's world. Thus, general readers and not just students, are invited to purchase this book in virtue of the value of the writings of which it is comprised.

My purchase arrived to me like new, but there were some bent pages that might have occurred en route.

it took a bit of time to recieve my book but it was worth it, it was in pretty good condition.
