Ethics & Experience: Life Beyond Moral Theory / Timothy Chappell

"Original, insightful and provocative . . . the book will serve students well." – The Philosophical Quarterly

"What is hard to find is a textbook that introduces and explains both metaethics and normative ethical theory to beginners in a way that is clear and accessible without sacrificing breadth or philosophical depth. And some of the standard secondary texts that are reasonably accessible and thorough are just a little tedious: rehearsing the same old arguments, the same old examples, the same old theories. If that has been your experience, then here is a book for you." – Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

"Ethics and Experience is unusual and perhaps unique in its combination of virtues. It brings together discussion of all the major topics in contemporary moral philosophy in a clear and helpfully critical way. At the same time, it advances important theses about the scope of moral concern, the nature of personal responsibility, and the role of moral theory in the good life." – Chris Tollefsen, University of South Carolina
