Customer Reviews
Easy read - Rated Easy read book which is very helpful for Religion at University level. Lots of detail and example which make the book more understandable. Well worth the read. Will help with many assessments. Excellent introduction to the basics - Rated I read Rachels' text for a college course. Though I was somewhat familiar with the concepts therein, I found it to be a great source for the basics of modern western philosophy. Chapters cover egoism, utilitarianism, Kant's Categorical Imperative, religious morality and other well known philosophies. An excellent first philosophy book. I find it hard to discuss certain things with people if they are not at least peripherally familiar with the concepts in this book. Highly recommended as a first text. Good book, strong case on what Morals and morality is - Rated I have read this book, Rachels gives a strong case on what he beleives to make up moral theory. Although I disagree with him on some issues, this is a good book for anyone to read if they are interested in determining morality in their lives An easy to read introduction to moral thought. - Rated If you're looking for an easy to read introduction to moral thought, then look no further. This book can easily be finished in just a few sittings and remains interesting and thoughtful throughout. My only dislike is the author's attempt to formulate his own 'Philosophy Without Hubris' theory, in which I find many inconsistencies. Still, this is only done in the last chapter and gives the reader a chance to perorm a critical evaluation. For those about to delve into the tumultuous world of moral thought, I highly recommend this book. However, if you're already familiar with the basics, you should probably investigate other titles.
