From the Back Cover
I think this book will be a page turner for anyone interested in moral philosophy. One does not only get a very interesting and candid description of the (sometimes quirky) biographical circumstances that brought these philosophers into the field in the first place, but also first rate discussion of what are the most important topics to be addressed in normative ethics today, and a very valuable overview of what is going on at the front line of moral philosophy. Written in an accessible style, this book will be useful and entertaining reading for students, teachers and the general audience alike.
