Customer Reviews

Ethics

I really like this book for the simple fact that it's simple. The author lays out the information very concisely and thorough for anyone to understand it's implications. I'm finding that it gives sound judgment when concerning certain topics such as moral relativism. I'm in an online class right now and am intrigued to what other subjects will come up in the text. All around nice read.

Wonderful and explanatory book!

This book is very informational without having to read as much. It gives great examples and explanations of what you are reading.

Textbook in good shape

I purchased this book for a college course, so there was no great desire to read about the subject, just a requirement. However, I can say that it was in good condition and arrived on time.

Interesting read

This is a very interesting book to read for a class or not. It makes you think in various directions regarding issues that you may not think about otherwise. A good discussion starter as well.

A splended, and marvelous book on ethics

I thought this book was a very well written book on Ethics. I used it for my Ethics class in junior college, and it was so well written, and very concise. It discusses ethical issues, as well as teaches the reader how to make good ethical choices. It discusses in each chapter in depth how each process in the decision process should be made, and gives many dilemmas, and examples at the end of each chapter. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in Ethics
