The book balances coverage of moral reasoning (in Part 1) with highly relevant contemporary moral problems (in Part 2).

Recensioner i media

I love the 'cases for critical thinking'. My favorite part of the book by far. Some of them hit the students hard and we get whole classes talking about one of them and it's great. . .I admire Dr. Shafer-Landau as a philosopher, I've heard him speak and know his work, and I think he has created a very good book, which is why I adopted it and used it."- Brian Baer
