Ethics: Contemporary Readings

“I am very impressed with this collection. It seems to me to have great

pedagogical value on its own, and it would work splendidly with

Gensler’s [text] book. The selections are well chosen—both accessible and

interesting. The inclusion of Continental writers is particularly to be

applauded.”

Robert Arrington, Georgia State University

subject and does so through carefully selected classic and contemporary
