James Rachels, the distinguished American moral philosopher, was born in Columbus, Georgia, graduating from Mercer University in Macon in 1962. He received his Ph.D. in 1967. In 1975, Rachels wrote 'Active and Passive Euthanasia,' arguing that the distinction so important in the law between killing and letting die has no rational basis. Originally appearing in the New England Journal of Medicine, this essay has been reprinted roughly 300 times and is a staple of undergraduate education. The End of Life (1986) was about the morality of killing and the value of life. Created from Animals (1990) argued that a Darwinian world-view has widespread philosophical implications, including drastic implications for our treatment of nonhuman animals. Can Ethics Provide Answers? (1997) was Rachels' first collection of papers (others are expected posthumously). Rachels' McGraw-Hill textbook, The Elements of Moral Philosophy, is now in its fourth edition and is easily the best-selling book of its kind.

Over his career, Rachels wrote 5 books and 85 essays, edited 7 books and gave about 275 professional lectures. His work has been translated into Dutch, Italian, Japanese, and Serbo-Croatian. James Rachels is widely admired as a stylist, as his prose is remarkably free of jargon and clutter. A major theme in his work is that reason can resolve difficult moral issues. He has given reasons for moral vegetarianism and animal rights, for affirmative action (including quotas), for the humanitarian use of euthanasia, and for the idea that parents owe as much moral consideration to other people's children as they do to their own.

James Rachels died of cancer on September 5th, 2003, in Birmingham, Alabama.

Brilliant introduction

Brilliant little introductory text; a classic for a reason. It’s completely accessible to novitiates and seasoned philosophers alike. Everyone will find something new to think about in Rachels’ Elements.

Thinking it thru
Reviewed in the United States on 10 August 2013

Well I liked this book. I had to use it for my business philosophy class and it did the job it needed. I think another book possibly could have been better but my teacher did a good job of intertwining the art of business with philosophy. I find myself reading this book about as much as I did when I was in the class. It is a very interesting read and makes one think about political and social issues that one faces in their daily lives. I highly recommend this book because of the questions it raises and problems it addresses.

This is a book that will make you think!

A clearly written written book that was a best-seller in its time.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 January 2016

This is a straightforward book on moral philosophy which is written with clarity and understanding. It helps with the complexities of the subject and I would recommend it as both introductory and also as a source of good bibliographical material.
