One of its merits is that the readings come from both the Eastern and Western traditions of philosophical thought. But one should not see this as a collection focused on a narrow topic. By opening up a view of the foundations of ethical thinking, it encourages a wide-ranging discussion of the integrity of our ethical customs and habits. What one finds oneself engaged with here is the entirety of our moral horizon. The editors have provided a good introduction to guide one¿s thinking. I highly recommend it." / ¿Ted Vaggalis, Drury University / "This is an original arrangement of source material compiled from a pantheon of recognized moral sleuths. More than a handy compilation of dos and don'ts, it presents contexts from east and west. Selections are short, enticing, and trenchant." / ¿Phillip J. Lioi, Polk State College / / About the Authors: / Kevin DeLapp is Professor of Philosophy at Converse College. / Jeremy Henkel is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Wofford College. / ________________________________________ / /
