Title: Good Intro To Ethics
Review: I have adopted this as my ethics text for my university classes. It is the clearest presentation of moral realism I can find and effectively presents a Thomistic ethics against versions of hedonism, stoicism, and other systems. The system here begins with fundamental questions on the good, happiness, man's last end, etc. and proceeds to applied ethics. Primary sources are strategically quoted but not overdone to the point of burdening the undergraduate.One drawback however is that students find the many scholastic distinctions, important as they are, to be difficult. Hence if this is intended to be a classroom text, the teacher ought to be prepared to give slow patient explanations.I highly recommend this work.
