Recenzii
For many years I have used The Right Thing to Do, and this eighth edition of The Right Thing to Do enables the teacher to remain current regarding the most captivating issues in applied ethics.
This is an incredible anthology for Introduction to Ethics courses. Relevant, diverse, and challenging essays tackle some of the most important issues in moral philosophy. I recommend this book unreservedly.
