“This comprehensive and authoritative collection embraces many of the most influential texts, and all the central contemporary approaches to the nature of morality. It will be an essential resource for any philosophy student wanting to understand that area, which in effect means any philosophy student at all.” Simon Blackburn, Cambridge University<!--end-->


“An enormously effective anthology, Foundations of Ethics contains well-chosen, important papers in metaethics as well as helpful introductory essays by the editors. A highly commendable work!” David Copp, University of Florida


“Shafer-Landau and Cuneo have assembled an excellent mix of old and new influences, featuring authors who bring out the excitement in their fields. With 38 essays, Foundations of Ethics allows for considerable flexibility and provides a highly useful introduction to metaethics.” Philip Clark, University of Toronto

"The rationale of this particular work, Foundations of Ethics, is to identify some of the best writing on meta-ethics – what makes ethics ethics – and bring it together in one convenient volume for students, lecturer, and other interested parties. This makes this work…of value to the academic library and to courses where ethics and meta-ethics are seriously studied. It is a work for early on in such courses as well as for more seasoned readers to check back on to be sure of the facts and arguments…The arrangement and editorial plan is excellent, making this a thoroughly worth-while book to buy." Library Review

"The selection is challenging yet accessible to readers with some background in ethics...This comprehensive collection is indispensable to anyone wishing to be conversant with the major traditions in the field." Choice
