"Jussi Suikkanen is one of the world's best young moral philosophers, and in this clear and wide-ranging text, he provides an excellent introduction to the philosophical investigation of morality, spanning applied ethics, normative ethics and metaethics. Highly recommended for students and teachers of philosophical ethics."

"Suikkanen's ethics textbook is one of the very best -- and most useful -- in existence. The book insightfully discusses the main positions in contemporary normative theory, as well as the leading metaethical theories.
The weblinks and glossary will prove invaluable to students."
