Publisher's Summary
In fifth edition of The Fundamentals of Ethics, author Russ Shafer-Landau employs a uniquely engaging writing style to introduce students to the essential ideas of moral philosophy. Offering more comprehensive coverage of the good life, normative ethics, and metaethics than any other text of its kind, this book also addresses issues that are often omitted from other texts, such as the doctrine of doing and allowing, the doctrine of double effect, ethical particularism, the desire-satisfaction theory of well-being, moral error theory, and Ross' theory of prima facie duties. Shafer-Landau carefully reconstructs and analyzes dozens of arguments in-depth, at a level that is understandable to students with no prior philosophical background.

Great overview and insight into Ethics and Morality
This is a really good book and well written. The author takes you through a journey that flows naturally from the most basic beliefs to more complex ones. The author captures a bit of every type of philosophical beliefs from hedonism to ethical egoism and so on and so forth. The author also asks engaging questions. The book does really well at making its reader think about what is being presented and encourages the reader to do their own research but also to understand that saying there is a right or wrong is difficult. I would honestly want books like this to be mandatory in our schools for our children.
