Product Description

Review
"Exploring Ethics is not only enjoyable and stimulating; it also succeeds as an introduction to ethics without lapsing into the formalized appearance and stuffy taxonomy of a textbook." Raymond Dennehy, International Philosophical Quarterly

Product Description
This volume is a lively, wide–ranging introduction to ethics. It provides accessible coverage of the main ethical theories which offer the basis for an exploration of key issues and recent developments in applied ethics. The author′s approach differs from other recent introductions, eschewing the utilitarian approach in favor of a rights and virtue ethics alternative.

4.0 out of 5 stars Imaginative metaphor., 29 Oct 1999

By A Customer

Following Almond's trail-blazing philosophical odyssey of Sophia, Exploring Philosophy, originally published in the Penguin 'self-starters' series, as plain 'Philosophy', comes the new volume, Exploring Ethics. If the first book contained a narrative root of a seeker, Sophia, searching out the issues with the aid of Almond's omniscient philosophical consultant, 'Q', Exploring Ethics finds the philosophically bemused in a metaphorical canyon surrounded by ethical (human) animals, each propounding their own doctrine of rights and wrongs. Imaginative and fluently written, subtly iconoclastic in form, and in content too, perhaps, Almond's book is certain to do well in the bookshops, if fated to be rather less welcome in some of the philosophical citadels of academia.
