Description and Table of Contents
Description
Introduces metaethics in a refreshing, question-driven way that explains the main topics and problems for the beginning student.
The first edition has established itself as one of the best introductions to the topic for the beginner and offers a better guide than more advanced books.
The second edition benefits from a reordering of the chapters to make the flow of discussion easier and includes new material on evolution and ethics, debunking arguments and 'thick' and 'thin' moral concepts.
Includes helpful features such as chapter summaries, study questions, further reading and a glossary.
