What is A Concise Introduction to Ethics about?
A Concise Introduction to Ethics offers a condensed and exceptionally well-written introduction to the essential moral theories.

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.
