Moral Problems: A Coursebook

by Michael F. Palmer

Moral Problems takes particular account of the needs of both teacher and student. It is not a compendium of ethical theories but a course book, providing the instructor, student, and general reader with a step-by-step introduction to the major ethical theories. For each topic Palmer has provided a lengthy introduction and critique, comprehension exercises, essay questions, and an extensive bibliography. He relates each ethical theory to a contemporary issue, with an introductory discussion followed by excerpts from the original sources.

[Nick Pelonia · Rating 4 out of 5]

An easy to read book that introduces ethics (egoism, utilitarianism, kantianism, and more) and has these little problems that help. Very helpful.

A text-based coursebook. An experimental approach to Ethics.
