Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Palmer does an excellent job at explaining the philosophical bases of ethics and morality. You will be treated to a thoughtful discussion of virtue ethics, duty ethics, utilitarianism, and even evolutionary ethics. Palmer takes on the theory of egoism, as well as John Rawls' ideas about how to build a just and fair society. Although evidently meant as an introductory textbook (each chapter comes with a list of strengths and weaknesses of each major set of ideas, questions for the reader's consideration, study guide and suggested readings), it's good for anyone interested in ethics. The well drawn and often very funny cartoons (also by Palmer, who is a professor emeritus at the College of Marin) make this little gem a good entry in your philosophical library.
