Purchase options and add-ons

In its seventh edition, Social Ethics: Morality and Social Policy continues to provide material that will encourage reflective and critical examination of key contemporary moral problems. With additional readings and a new organization that groups related chapters together under four categories, this edition enhances the teachability that was the most salient characteristic of previous editions. The text maintains its ability to bring the central issues into clear focus, while allowing supporting arguments for widely diverse positions to be presented by those who embrace them.

I thought this was a thorough collection of worthwhile perspectives on various social policies. The book was way too expensive for most readers. But that's a whole other social policy.

I was very disappointed with this purchase. Since several pages were missing and there has been a lot of highlighting going on, I don't think that the description of the book as "like new" was truthful. Would not recommend that you purchase anything from this seller.

2.0 out of 5 stars Careful when ordering a used copy
Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2012

I clicked through to buy a used copy from this page (the 2011 version), and ended up purchasing the 1977 edition, which doesn't include the Kai Nelsen essay I was wanting to purchase the book for in the first place. Bummer. I didn't catch it (doh), but I also think these links are set up in a confusing way. Be careful if you're trying to buy this edition used.
