About this title: Socrates said that moral philosophy deals with "no small matter, but how we ought to live." This book is a lively, readable, and succinct contribution to that subject. In clear language, and with an emphasis on the practical application of moral philosophical theory to contemporary life, Rachels provides a stimulating introduction to the field of moral philosophy. Rachels makes clear the relevancy of ethics to contemporary life through his opening chapter that examines the 1983 Baby Jane Doe case and subsequent discussions of issues such as abortion and religion, nuclear war, and our ...

"Without a doubt, one of the best & most thought-provoking textbooks I've ever had. (Professors, too, but I don't think you can purchase your own copy of him, so...) ;)"
"This book gave me alot of insight on the views of morals and so on. I definitely kept an openmind while reading it and I can say that I honestly understood alot of the points that were being made even if I may not have completely agreed. It makes sense as to why people would come up with the reasoning and conclusions that they do. I have a newfound respect for many different cultures, species, logics and such. This book also makes for great discussion for someone who also knows anything about philosophy or has read something similar. I'll definitely be picking up more books on the subject to further educate myself."
"Very good introductory book to the world of philosophy. Unsure as to whether it should be used as an undergraduate text, however, but my professor seemed to make good usage of it and complimented it - so basically this book is pretty much useless is your prof. relies on it and doesn't expound. For those who are already adepts at philosophy, stay away. You will probably dig out a few flaws deeply rooted within it."
