Clear, digestible introduction to not only ethics & moral issues but philosophical thinking in general. As I’m new to the field, reading the book has become a great practice of engaging with philosophical arguments, which are commonly associated with complex, multifaceted issues in real world e.g., what’s moral? The experience motivated me to take The University of Edinburgh’s Introduction to Philosophy course online: [https://www.coursera.org/learn/philos...

By walking-through traditional moral theories consisting of utility, duty, and virtue, the author nicely touched various philosophical topics such as relativism vs. objectivism and obligation to obey the law, which are important not only for thinking about status of morality but for examining our life in a broader sense.

Concise, clearly written, and well narrated, this is an excellent audiobook for those looking for either an introduction to or refresher on some of the major thinkers who’ve shaped Western Philosophy.
