Book Reviews of Contemporary Moral Problems
Book Review: Great Philosophy book, but is definitely for a classroom
Summary: 3 Stars
The book delivers exactly what is necessary for good philosophy class on moral issues. However it isn't written for a home reader interested in the subject in any manner whatsoever, I used this for a class, and get that feeling.
