Rezensionen

This is an eminently readable introduction to moral philosophy. A useful introductory text. Gail Tulloch, Griffith University
It is good to find an introductory text on ethics which uses the first person and puts its cards directly on the table: ... Nuttall takes a problems approach to ethics, with a strong emphasis on the personal. Australian Journal of Philosophy

Moral Questions can be recommended to anyone beginning moral philosophy, but especially to those with only a small or no experience of philosophy. Jon Nuttall is a good guide to the moral maze. He knows his way through whilst not missing what there is to be seen of interest on the way. It would be particularly suitable for A level students and first-year undergraduates. One would also recommend it to students taking moral philosophy as part of another discipline or training - nurses, midwives, doctors or business students.
Robert Campbell, Principal Lecturer in Philosophy, Bolton Institute, and Chief Examiner, A Level Philosophy, A. E. B. (1987-92)

The book is written with a commendable clarity and lack of technicality ... stimulating and useful. The Philosopher
