Philosophical Ethics: An Introduction to Moral Philosophy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Good discussion of various aspects of philosophical ethics.
Excellent text for Ethics courses
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This updated edition of PE continues to be an excellent presentation of ethical theory. The changes I suspect reflect suggestions from instructors using previous editions. It has the quality and depth from before but shows the advantage of being used in many ethics courses. It is improved as a result. In a relatively small text it is still jam-packed with a great range of vocabulary with sterling excerpts from historical and contemporary philosophers. Theories are described and then exemplified. Students should be good readers to use this text.
