Reviews for Three Methods of Ethics: A Debate
"An unprecedented three-way conversation between forceful representatives of the three major traditions in ethical philosophy." Stephen Darwall, University of Michigan "An outstanding resource: a book which students beginning to think about normative ethical theory, and their teachers, simply must read." Michael Smith, Australian National University "This is a superb book by three moral philosophers who really know their stuff; lively, lucid and highly engaging." John Fischer, University of California, Riverside "This book, which brings together leading protagonists of the three approaches to ethics currently dominant, is definitely one of the best in ethics for 1997. It will provide any reader (whether student, teacher, or 'researcher') with not only an excellent 'big picture' of this important area of debate, but also much philosophical detail to chew over." Steven Tudor, University of Melbourne, Australasian Journal of Philosophy
