Exploring Ethics: A Traveller's Tale

by Brenda Almond

This volume is a lively, wide-ranging introduction to ethics. It provides accessible coverage of the main ethical theories which offer the basis for an exploration of key issues and recent developments in applied ethics. The author's approach differs from other recent introductions, eschewing the utilitarian approach in favor of a rights and virtue ethics alternative.

Even if I don't agree with everything, quite an overview of so many ethical questions and their different proposed answers.

The framing device of a traveller from our society among a foreign one sounds interesting, but it ends up playing little role.
