I bought this book for a philosophy class on Contemporary Moral Issues, and it covered all topics very well with readings from major philosophers and distinguished modern professors. It's a great way to learn the basics of philosophy (Utilitarianism, Kant, etc) and get you thinking about the problems we face today. I'd never thought so deeply about affirmative action, animal rights, the death penalty, and much more until I read this book!

This book was needed/used for a college Philosophy class. Most of the text contains information regarding many different philosophers with excepts from different papers that they have written. A few things that I don't like about the book: no index and very little reviews/critiques on what the authors are saying. Many of the articles were written several hundred years ago, so difficult in many instances to interpret. Unless you need this book for a particular class, you may want to consider another choice.

The content was and excellant read once you get past the fact that the pages are tissue paper thin and highlighters bleed through to the next page(s) and the print is so small that if you are over 40 you will need to invest in reading (magnifying) glasses. I am not particularly for one type of book or the other but this subject matter may be better suited to the style and format of the SIRUS textbooks. The subject matter would be easier to follow as well as read without the (magnifying) spectacles.

HELLO, I price this book for class and never got it. I am trying to figure out how can I get my money back. Therefore, due to me not getting my book, I didn't do well in the class.

The book was received in excellent condition. The book was received within the time promised. I was very pleased with this vendor.

I find this book to be very interesting to read. It deals with moral controversies. My class just started but so far what I have read is very interesting.

Not my cup of tea, but okay if you enjoy "literature" class (same general style). Reading because I have to, not because I wish to.

The textbook was everything it was described it would be. A good deal. I walked away completely satisfied.

This book was torn and highlighted all the way through. Pages had been bent and the cover was so badly damaged that I didn't recognized the title. I would have come out better paying an extra $20.00 for a new book.

It got here fast but it is soooo dirty! Like all over and inside, someone must have used it as a napkin or as toilet paper. Whatever, it gets the job done, it is readable.
