"A Good Philosophy Textbook"

I really enjoyed reading Colin McGinn's book, "Moral Literacy: Or How to Do the Right Thing ." I actually needed it for an online class that I took. The book was interesting. I gained a better appreciation of others' viewpoints although I did not (do not) always agree with their viewpoints. McGinn's book is also a good reference/resource for anyone who wants to know about issues that people are very passionate about.

a great little ethics book!

Short books seem to be a trend these days. This book is good and short, but it's packed full of all sorts of interesting stuff on how to think about morality and reasonably think about important moral issues. The writing style is fun and conversational. Very good!
