Great quality with the lowest price. I thought I was getting a used book but when I opened the package the book was new.

Great Traditions in Ethics Review

Excellent; product came a lot earlier than I expected and it was in excellent condition. I would buy another textbook from this seller. It could not have worked out any better because it was less than half the cost than it would have costed me at the college bookstore.

Buy it for the intros

This is the textbook I used for my Ethics class at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. It is a fantastic collection of ethical thought spanning 2,400 years. I was very surprised to realize how much of our own ethical thought, as well as legal system, is based on the beliefs and essays of previous philosophers. The best parts of this book are the introductions. Because this book is composed of exerpts from larger works, the introductions do a splendid job of giving the authors' historical background and explaining their writings. The introductions are so clear and concise that one could probably just read them and understand the ideas and arguments perfectly.
