Product Description

Review

"A Companion to Ethics will provide an invaluable stimulus for anyone interested in ethics –– which is to say it will benefit anyone interested in the central questions of human life." David Seehouse, University of Liverpool; BMJ

"Peter Singer has directed this book very expertly. The contributors have set forth the facts about ethical systems with as much kind clarity as specialists can ever bestow upon the ignorant." The Independent

"A brilliant collection of articles." Pat Haggard, New Scientist<!––end––>

Product Description

In this volume, some of today′s most distinguished philosophers survey the whole field of ethics, from its origins, through the great ethical traditions, to theories of how we ought to live, arguments about specific ethical issues, and the nature of ethics itself. The book can be read straight through from beginning to end; yet the inclusion of a multi–layered index, coupled with a descriptive outline of contents and bibliographies of relevant literature, means that the volume also serves as a work of reference, both for those coming afresh to the study of ethics and for readers already familiar with the subject.

4.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive collection of essays on ethics, 6 Oct 2000
By A Customer
Rather than an encyclopedia on ethics, Peter Singer, himself one of the most controversial authors in contemporary philosophy, has compiled a number of easy-to-understand essays on issues in moral philosophy and ethics. The range of topics is agreeably wide and will provide beginning (or advanced) philosophy students with a solid background. Whether you agree on everything Singer says and writes or not, you will have to agree that this book is indeed a very useful one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommend to everyone!, 17 Jan 2010
By Xin Bi (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Ethics is our key topic and the basic question to think about.

This book involves so many aspects of ethics. I read it in the library and compared with other ones, then I decided to get one on Amazon.

Thank you, Peter Singer; Thank you, Amazon.
