This introductory textbook describes the historical schools, major problems, and current trends concerning the study of ethics. Selections from key philosophers cover topics like relativism and objectivism, egoism, value, utilitarianism, deontology, virtue, metaethics, skepticism, religion, sociobiology, feminism, and determinism. Representing the span of the Western canon, selections are drawn from the ancient, modern, and post-modern periods. A glossary is included. No index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)From the Publisher
"It is the best anthology on ethical theory, as a matter of fact, it is the best by far."
"This is a great text, one I look forward to using for some time."
"His introductory analyses show a very strong grasp of the subject of each chapter. His ways of making distinctions and putting them into charts or tables is very helpful to teacher and students alike."
