Reviews
'Billington is a fine writer; everything flows so nicely, somehow. The changes are excellent... and really bring it up to speed.' - Brooke Moore, California State University 'This is philosophy that doesn't hide; it demostrates powerfully how the philosophical stance can illuminate things that matter to many people. Direct, argumentative, informative.' - John Shand, The Open University, UK 'Ray Billington's style is lucid, witty and full of human warmth. The issues are presented with the maturity and erudition of a true mentor willing to offer himself as an example... In style and substance Billington's text grounds philosophy in and guides students towards the view that the examined life is worth living.' - Bruce Omundson, Lansing Community College, USA 'Billington takes moral theory beyond the undergraduate staple diet of Kant and he utilitarians, and expands the students' horizons to embrace existentialism and Eastern philosophy There is a very important place for the kind of introduction which Billington has written.' - Teaching Philosophy -
