Summarizes various ethics clearly,

This review is from: Ethics Across Cultures (Paperback)
Ethics Across Cultures by Michael C. Brannigan covers many topics and I used it for a college course about ethics and cultures. Many of the ethics are clearly summarized while giving examples of what a Utilitarian, Buddhist, etc would do in a certain situation and going over potential strengths and weaknesses at the end of each segment.
I am glad I picked this book up and feel that I know the basics of various beliefs a lot clearer now and I highly recommend this want to skim the surface of various views such as utilitarianism, kant's deontology, islamic ethics, feminism, hinduism, and a lot more- such as moral relativism, perpsectivalism, absolutism. Great for those who want to study cultural ethics, as the title suggests.

This review is from: Ethics Across Cultures (Paperback)
The shipping was quick and came like new. The book itself is engaging. I used it for my philosophy and religions class. My professor informed us that some parts of the book weren't exactly accurate. However, I still found it to be insightful and it taught me a lot about philosophies and religions other than my own.
