review: Editorial Reviews Review " Ethics is a fine collection, one that is organized so that it can be tailored on a daily basis to an instructor's pedagogical goals. The introductions are models of clarity and accessibility for philosophy students, in particular for those who are new to philosophy."--Paul Hughes, University of Michigan-Dearborn "The book's greatest strength is its excellent primary resources, which include a great variety of classical and contemporary authors. Students have access to the grand sweep of thinking in ethics and also pertinent information from prominent thinkers of today. The organization is helpful, and it matches much of what I teach in my ethics course."--L. Dean Allen, Northwest Florida State College "I have looked at many other anthologies and this really is the best one for the survey course I teach. All of Cahn's anthologies, but especially this one, do an admirable job of abbreviating texts so that they are as accessible as possible, and so that they focus on the themes that carry over to other readings in the collection."--Gary Jaeger, Vanderbilt University About the Author Steven M.
