Bob Fischer's College Ethics is a refreshing departure from the standard anthologies in moral problems and applied ethics. It has proven to be eminently useful in course organization, structuring discussions, and walking students through difficult and/or triggering topics with clarity and nuance. --Justin L. Harmon, Southern Oregon University When I use the book in class, students actually want to do the readings, and they are so engaged that they run the discussion. I much prefer Fischer's text to any other on the market because no other text presents issues in which the students are already engaged. Before class, students may not recognize that they are in the midst of ethical dilemmas in their everyday lives; once they recognize this in class, ethics becomes a live, relevant area of study. No other book besides this one captures the students' immediate context. --Olga S. Gerhart, Texas State University I would recommend this book to anyone teaching philosophical/ethical ideas to philosophy neophytes. Applying ethical concepts to the concrete college experience is tremendously helpful. If students can speak from their own experience, then they can better apply their own meaning to the ideas and concepts of philosophy and ethics (and vice versa). --Richard Thornton, West Virginia University at Parkersburg
