About this title: "The Right Thing To Do" is a collection of readings in moral theory and moral issues from major Western philosophers. It is the successful companion reader for Rachels' text, "The Elements of Moral Philosophy". This anthology explores further the theories and issues introduced in that volume, in their original and classic formulations. The collection can stand on its own as the text for a course in moral philosophy, or it can be used to supplement any introductory text.

"I have used this book and its companion volume for my intro to ethics courses. I would recommend the texts for instructors who want to make use of case-studies in applied ethics. However, I have to supplement the text insofar as primary source material is overlooked. Stuart Rachels has a pretty good suggested syllabus on his website.
Pros: good for applied ethics, intuitive presentation, appropriate for 100-level courses,
Cons: lack of primary source material, no meta-ethics, poor presentations of egoism and virtue ethics"
"In designing a syllabus for an undergraduate Intro to Ethics seminar, I needed a book that would collect together some seminal works in normative ethics. The challenge is to find a volume which includes readings from the most important thinkers, does so in an accessible way, and includes enough of the original texts to give some context for the ideas being put forward. Oh, and if the book doesn't cost students a fortune, that is great, too. Rachels' anthology fit the bill perfectly."
