Accessible read for a novice in philosophy. After listening to Philosophize This I wanted to get more into philosophy and the man from the podcast advised by starting to read philosophy books written by scholars that are easy to understand. The book explains the classic example of the trolley case (I remember when Jenny told me about this) and arguments were well laid out to uncover the intentions behind ones decisions, various philosophers take on it and even how in the future hormones will be able to shape our morality. Enjoyed it, and definitely will be looking into more philosophy books to open up my mind to new things.

I thought this book was tremendous - easy to digest but very thought provoking. By the end of the book, I had three additional books to read to add to my knowledge of this area. Two thumbs way up.
