A Blend of Contemporary and Classic Ethics,
This review is from: The Moral of the Story: An Introduction to Ethics (Paperback)
I bought this book for my introduction to ethics college course and after reading the first few chapters, decided I was definetely not selling it back to the college bookstore. This book provides a clear and easy to read format for understanding the more difficult works of the classic philosphers, as well as interweaving the moral lessons in modern movies and books. By relating ethical frameworks to movies you've seen, one is able to gain a clear understanding of ethical thought as taught by the "masters" of moral philosophy. The class is over, but I am still reading this book for enjoyment.

It May Be Superficial But It Sure Is Vague,
By
This review is from: The Moral of the Story: An Introduction to Ethics (Paperback)
I've nearly finished my first (and only) semester teaching an "Intro. to Ethics" class from this book. I didn't choose it, and have found a replacement which (I believe) will be more substantive and sophisticated.
Rosenstand's grasp of essential concepts are often weak to the point of being embarrassing; a particular example is her discussion of teleology in the chapter on Aristotle, which is overly anthropomorphic and an attempt to project Christian views on the pre-Christian philosopher. And her use of pop culture examples to illustrate philosophical concepts are stretched and often hokey. By the way, my students hated this book, too.

This book is being used as the textbook for Intro to Ethics. I've never read a textbook like this before, I WANT to keep reading it... Very intense class and book.
