Customer Reviews

Very good condition. Sent on time! Great customer service

The sender was completely honest. The book is in very good condition and was sent in the time frame I was told. Very good customer service from this vendor.

Excellent historical survey of moral thought

The authors have done a great job of tracing the theme of human fulfillment as they summarize and consider criticisms of some of the main ethical theories of the past 2000 or so years. An excellent and concise introductory book. Great for undergraduate courses, or as a review for more advanced students. Excellent book for the "garage philosopher" who wants to get a handle on the history of moral philosophy.

Good historical approach for a short ethics course

For college students that don't have much time for a lot of reading, this text offers a nice summary of the key philosophical views from the ancients to Rorty and Gilligan. It presents them in a no nonsense historical progression. Some short original paragraphs are included.
