“The primary strength of this volume is that its grounding in
traditional readings and approaches from the history of ethics is
complemented by contemporary readings and concerns that have come
to shape the discipline. In addition to conveying the vitality of
ethical discourse, it also accomplishes pedagogical goals through
the organization and presentation of these writings. This volume
would be attractive even to those who see themselves inclined only
to teach ‘primary’ texts.”

“This is a beautiful collection of interesting materials
for an ethics course. It begins with general topics about the
nature of morality and its justification, goes through the standard
topics (utility, duty, virtue), and ends with the contemporary
issues of feminism, environmentalism, and postmodernism. It would
be hard to find a more exciting and comprehensive collection than
this volume.”
