3.0 out of 5 stars
Easy to read primer on ethics, December 27, 2001
This review is from: Ethics (Harpercollins College Outline Series) (Paperback)
This is an easy to read primer on ethics. The high points: ethics as a philosophy, selfishness, self-interest, moral relativism, moral subjectivism, consequentialism, act and rule utilitarianism, Kant and Kantianism, virtue ethics, Aristotle's ethics, Existentialism, and more.
The last chapters veer off into controversial subjects: affirmative action, poverty, censorship, and animal rights.
On the whole, it isn't a very compelling book. However, it covers the basics.
