3.0 out of 5 stars
*Good* selection of articles but *terrible* book design,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ethics: The Big Questions (Philosophy: The Big Questions) (Paperback)
This book provides a wide selection of articles, 43 in all, on the philosophy of ethics -- covering diverse viewpoints and timeperiods. Important thinkers from Plato to Alasdair MacIntyre are represented, with heavier emphasis on modern concerns. The articles are arranged nicely, in that one can often read consecutive articles as part of a running debate. None of the articles is very long or very technical; hence the book is suitable for an introduction or for bed-side reading as well as for an undergraduate seminar. There is, on the other hand, a serious problem with the physical design (page layout) of the book. The articles have been typeset in two columns, which makes reading unneccesarily painful. Given that the book is *not* extraordinarily wide, a regular page layout would have been much preferable. As it stands, the book is *not* a pleasure to read, but it still contains valuable information. |
