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
