Table of ContentsReviewsThe best thing about Moral Theory might be that it clearly sets forth major aims of moral theory, derives some standards by which to assess moral theories from those aims, and then explicitly applies those standards to the moral theories explained. --Lara Denis, Agnes Scott College The organization in Moral Theory: An Introduction is simply excellent. The framework for the book connects the whole together and the scope is better than other comparable texts I've seen.--Jason Matteson, University of Nevada, Las Vegas "Like its predecessors, this third edition of Moral Theory offers a well-focused, clear account of moral theories. In a philosophical area marked by the tendency to speak in terms of abstract concepts and isms, Timmons makes frequent, effective use of particular cases, stories, and examples to illustrate the moral theory under discussion.... Throughout, Timmons is careful to present a balanced view of the theory--he mentions both the attractive points and the potential negative points of the theory in question. A useful appendix provides standards for evaluating moral theories. Recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates; general readers.
