Items related to A Concise Introduction to Ethics
A Concise Introduction to Ethics offers a condensed and exceptionally well-written introduction to the essential moral theories. Based on Russ Shafer-Landau's best-selling primer on ethical theory, The Fundamentals of Ethics, this briefer volume retains the longer one's content advantage over competing books by addressing issues that other texts omit, including the good life (value theory), natural law, and prima facie duties. It also incorporates discussion questions and case studies at the end of each chapter, giving students the opportunity to apply ethical theories to real-world moral problems.
A perfect companion to Shafer-Landau's anthology, The Ethical Life, this volume's compact size and low price make A Concise Introduction to Ethics an ideal complement to any course where it is important that students understand moral theories.

Review:
"A Concise Introduction to Ethics is short enough to be a supplementary text, but with enough detail to genuinely cover the central topics in moral theory. If you want to include a section on moral theory in your course, you aren't going to do any better than this."--Bob Fischer, Texas State University
"The writing is clear and crisp, the exposition is careful and precise, and the breadth and depth of coverage is excellent, especially for such a compact text. It's hard to imagine a more accessible introduction to moral theory."--Philip Robbins, University of Missouri
"Shafer-Landau's introduction is exceptionally well-written; it offers clear explanations for often-complex theories with illustrative examples drawn from ordinary life. He carefully notes the strengths and weaknesses of each theory and offers probing questions for students' reflection."--Max Latona, St. Anslem College
"A Concise Introduction to Ethics is of moderate length, yet its scope is comprehensive for its size. I can find no competing book from another publisher that is better."--Theodore Gracyk, Minnesota State University
