Customer Reviews

Social Ethics

Dense read, but very insightful. Seller was up-front about the condition of the book. If you're taking an ethics course, this is definitely a good read.

Decent

It came pretty quick, but in an envelope and there was a lot of bending and writing in the book, but over all it was ok.

Social Ethics

Very quick delievery to my house, plenty of time before school. A little more hi-liting than I previously anticipated, but overall good condition.

GOOD TRANSACTION

PRODUST WAS SHIPPED AS PROMISED. BOOK WAS IN GREAT SHAPE, PRATICALLY NEW. WILL DO BUISNESS AGAIN

what a lovely book!

The Mappes/Zembaty reader has everything one would want in an introductory primer on ethics and social policy. The editors have collected well-argued and important essays by philosophers, jurists and laymen on most of the politically charged topics of today, from abortion to pornography to environmentalism. Unfortunately, the book has not been updated to include any treatment of behaviors made newly possible by the Internet; perhaps a newer edition will accommodate this angle.
