Critics Review
[This book] is an excellent companion to The Fundamentals of Ethics and a strong anthology in its own right. Indeed, I cannot envision a better anthology that meets similar length and price constraints. Shafer-Landau is an exceptionally clear writer.“Robert Farley, Assistant Professor of Humanities at Hillsborough Community College
The clarity of the texts, study questions, and self-quizzes are very good. The selected texts represent very controversial and thought-provocative ideas. It’s great that in some topics, both opposite views are represented.” Daniel Star, Associate Professor of Philosophy at Boston University
