'I liked this book. It is written in an interactive manner that relates ethical concepts and ideas to real life issues. Moral philosophy can often appear overtly abstract and removed from the reality of everyday living, but this author has presented it in an a creative, accessible and entertaining format.' - Nursing Ethics`An outstanding introduction to ethics...short, structured, very readable, argumentatively a very clear and convincing introduction. German publishing houses could take this introductory series as an example for themselves.' - Dieter Schoenecker, Berliner Tagesspiegel
