## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    well curated, but lacking key feature for teaching
  

*by E***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 25, 2021*

I was tempted to assign this to Intro Ethics students, having been impressed that it includes 75% what I wish to teach (cobbled together until now without a unifying "textbook"), and it would be convenient to refer students to some of the additional selections that don't fit into my schedule of readings.But for university use, classic texts (Plato, Aristotle, Kant) need to track standard academic pagination; good anthologies include these numbers in the margin (or more cheaply, bracketed inline within the text). Without such numbers, students can't really make connections to secondary articles or alternate translations.Also missing in this volume is due recognition of translation details (translators are not listed in table of contents, nor generally listed in the text itself; they're discoverable only in the "permission credits" end matter), and the translations chosen are indeed not consistently the best. These two compromises may help the anthology feel uncluttered for casual readers, but they make it inappropriate for deeper inquiry.

    Interesting

Interesting book to read even for a class tbh with ya guys. I highly recommend you go and purchase it yourself!

    Good but needs non-Western readings
  

*by A***W on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 29, 2021*

I've been using this in my Ethics classes because it has about half of what I want to teach and isn't too expensive, but it is entirely Western-focused. Like the other reviewer said, it needs to make the translation details more explicit as well. I keep looking for a reader that has more of what I teach and failing to find it.
