The Essentials of Philosophy and Ethics

"For everyone interested in discovering more about philosophy and ethics, this is the ideal reference. The subjects are not only fascinating and thought-provoking in their own right but have important implications for the way we think about a whole range of other issues. From religion to civil liberties, from environmental destruction to animal welfare, this book adopts an innovate and contemporary approach and gives a clear insight into all the key concepts." "This book features: more than 500 entries, including over 100 individual essays on the most important topics; often-neglected non-European traditions such as African philosophies and Islamic ethics; accessible overviews of all the key thinkers and their theories, from Aristotle to Wittgenstein; and a lively and easy-to-read writing style."--Jacket.
