Product description

Review

This is a rich, wide-ranging, and nicely accessible collection of many of moral philosophy’s greatest hits, updated to include an excellent new section in feminist ethics. A must-have for anyone interested in ethics.

This collection is a very welcome addition. It is remarkable for the breadth of issues discussed and the diversity of positions represented. Throughout, the selections have been chosen with a keen eye for excellence and accessibility. Taken together, they provide a vivid panorama of ethical theory today.

Peter Railton, University of Michigan

It is a wonderfully comprehensive collection that manages to bring together well-chosen papers on a number of significant areas in moral theory.

Geoff Sayre-McCord, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
