Inhaltsangabe

The premise of this ethical theory anthology is that the study of ethics is, above all else, participation in the thinking of a long tradition of philosophers. Organized historically by philosopher, the book provides an introductory chapter on ethical concepts and helpful commentary and study questions throughout the reading selections. Morality and the Good Life is substantial enough for a full course in ethics, but it is concise enough to allow the instructor time include other approaches in addition to the classic texts and materials presented in this volume.
