I came across this book as required reading for my intro to ethics course. The first chapter was very interesting, but as time passed, I grew somewhat disinterested. While it is a very nice collection of ethics articles, it lacks TRUE diversity.

The readings are fairly diverse, though only within the realm of "common" ethics -- very little space is given to opposition philosophers such as Nietzsche, Crowley, Russell, etc.

Overall, the editors have done a grand job of presenting articles on the more prevalent issues in ethics, both past and present. It could have been more enjoyable (to me) with the inclusion of vastly opposing arguments, but I must say that it does serve the purpose quite well in that it makes you analyze your own beliefs. Highly recommended for those who desire varied readings in "compassionate" ethics; interesting, but not of utmost importance to those looking for more diversity.

This book is hard to understand but was required for an ethics class as required reading. Bought used and in good condition.

The book was received in perfect shape and I received it within a couple of days after it was ordered. Very Nice!

I bought this book for my Personal Ethics class. I got it and good time and it was in great shape! Thanks!

I have been trying to reach the seller for (2) books that I have been trying to send back (wrong ones) no one will respond..
please advise......

this is a wonderful and enlightening book I recommended to all with an open mind.

This book on ethics is very well-written and its just delightful to read. Don't miss this book, it shou be high on everyone's reading list!

The book was very marked-up and highlites are only helpful if someone highlights well. These highlights were very sloppy and didn't even highlight topics or statements that were useable.
