Cool book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I used this for a philosophy course and I must say that this book was quite bearable and enjoyable. I enjoyed the articles and case studies for each chapter, like for example, capital punishment. Also, in each chapter there is a list of both for and against a certain topic. I found that to be a good springing board for further research. Everyone's got some sort of opinion on topics, and this book should help one better formulate their ideas and expressing their opinions.
introduction with depth
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Applying Ethics is a wonderful introductory text. My freshmen enjoy it as compared to other books because of its readable essays, helpful outlines, and current examples; while I appreciate its logical depth and comprehensiveness. Excerpts of major philosophers were selected carefully to provide a representative glimpse of a theory without overwhelming the new student. The editors were wisely unafraid to select topical essays which sometimes take a more unusual and philosophically solid position on a 'popular' issue. Topical overviews are concise and precise, while outlining all major positions. My only criticism is that Olen fails to present Rawls himself before providing Bayer's critique (which is, by the way, sufficient reason in itself to buy the book).
