review 1: So this was a pretty compelling read, I think it showed arguments for some great moral dilemmas. However what keeps this from being 5 stars is that the book lacks in the moral aptitude testing. There's no analysis based on your opinions of the arguments. Only analysis of the arguments themselves. I would have liked to see more in the way of what your answers say about you as a moral individual. The given "moral compass" is just a terse recap of the arguments given not in anyway a detailed analysis of the person who would choose one way or the other. Overall, a very fun quick read, but not really that great for in depth analytical thought about morals.
review 2: Brief vignettes explore ethical issues in entertaining thought-provoking ways. The vignettes (and que... morestions they raise) form the first half of the book. The second half is devoted to examining the philosophical underpinnings of each conundrum. My only complaint would be with the format which forces the reader to flip back and forth a lot. Outside of minor format issues, this would be a great book to use in teaching critical thinking skills. The entries are short and straightforward - but each invites thought and many apply to current, real-world concerns, making for a fascinating and thoughtful read for the novice philosopher. less
