“Using DeNicola’s Moral Philosophy: A Contemporary Introduction has transformed my undergraduate ethical theory course: for the first time, I have a textbook that presents material at exactly the right level of complexity, and keeps the students engaged and enthusiastic about what they are learning. The cases that open each chapter capture students’ attention, and the questions at the end of each chapter lead to sophisticated and lively discussions. The book covers each ethical theory in a way that goes beyond the basics and into the most interesting and controversial implications that the theory may have, encouraging students to think critically and complexly as they are developing their own philosophical positions.”

“DeNicola provides an introduction to moral philosophy that I am excited to offer to my undergraduate students. The cases for each chapter motivate critical interrogation of the scope and limits of each theory while grounding theory in practice. This book carefully articulates a breadth of moral philosophy sorely lacking from most introductory texts, offering critical discussion reflecting contemporary approaches that are at once inclusive and expansive.”

“With this text, DeNicola has produced a clear introduction to philosophical ethics that strikes a skillful balance between the expectations of the instructor and the needs of the student. DeNicola’s text is comprehensive and readable, yet challenging enough to engage the serious student.”
