The Right Thing to Do: Basic Readings in Moral Philosophy

Came within a week. Clean, good shape as was stated. Satisfied with what i got.

Thank you. I received the book I ordered in a timely manner, and in the condition described.

In a world that refuses to mend, this book and the like provides a starting point in the process of becoming a conscientious moral agent.

This book is part of my required textbooks for school. It's very informative and interesting.

DISCLAIMER: The 4 rating is a not-so-random guess, as I haven't read the whole book yet, but had to put a number down in order to give this critique of Natalia's post. As soon as I bought this book, I read the section on Infanticide, which Natalia so poorly criticized. Natalia's criticism is so poor that you don't even need to read the article to critique her criticism, but I thought I would read it first in case anyone thought differently. She basically argues that even in cases where the baby is a 'vegetable', that it's still good to keep him or her alive because of the benefits they will serve to others. Is there a less compassionate and more selfish position possible than this? I've read a few articles from this book, mainly essays by professional philosophers who give at least strong, if not compelling, arguments for their positions. Rachels himself is good philosopher, specifically a good ethicist, so I recommend him for the strength of his arguments and the lucidity of his writing.
