Publisher's Synopsis

A guide to the complex subject of ethics explained in clear and entertaining language. This new edition is fully revised and updated.

This popular introduction to the subject of ethics poses vital contemporary questions and explores the approach of leading thinkers.

The authors take the reader, step by step, through the complex arguments on issues such as animal an human rights, environmental ethics and the morality of war.

'It is a great gift to be able to make philosophy accessible to the general reader. This is a wonderfully clear introduction both to moral philosophy and to contemporary ethical concerns.'
David Atkinson, Church Times
