5.0 out of 5 stars very understandable and to the point., 25 Jan 2002
Robert Bowie has produced a book that has helped me through the first half of my A/S year in my Ethics course. he is very clear and understandable in waht he has to say and he is too the point. he provides plenty of relevent issues that are relevent to my course and to my exam. the book it's self i found very approachable and i would recommend for anybody taking A/S and A level theology or ethics. it also provides all the information needed for the A2 course and has prepared me with good understanding of what is too come form the course.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best text book for A level ethics I have read, 10 Oct 2003
What a find! A suberb foundational text book for A level ethics. Covering all board requirements. R Bowie must be praised for his clarity of writing and presentation. Ideal for AS and A2 students alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars An outstanding introduction to the subject of ethics., 27 May 2002
This book is an excellent introduction to ethics. It is well written with plenty of exercises to help the students 'chew over' the issues raised by the different theories. It is very readable and although able students will need to supplement this book with others, as a class textbook there is no better one on the market at present.
