Ethics: The Key Thinkers

Tom Angier is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Cape Town, South Africa.

It is good to have a new edition of this very useful and informative work. The essays offer clear and sympathetic treatments of a range of key ethical thinkers, including now chapters on Chinese, Indian and African ethics. It is highly recommended to anyone looking to explore this fascinating field, and learn more about the ethical insights to be learned from its history.
