"Reading Ethics is a highly original and creative approach to introducing ethics which not only encourages beginners to understand and think about primary sources, but will also challenge, renew and enliven the interest of experienced philosophers and their interpretation of familiar arguments. There is simply nothing else available that introduces primary works in a way so likely to capture the interest and imagination." Michael Lacewing, Heythrop College
