Review of 'Without God, Is Everything Permitted?' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

A look at the questions that western philosophers discuss in ethics for those with a beginning interest in philosophy. A fairly practical view although sticking to toy problems, so you will get some value out of it even if you don't dig into any of them more. You may not change your mind on any of the issues but you should get a sense that some are more complex than you thought.
20 issues include:
Should euthanasia be legal?
What can science tell us about morality?
Can terrorism ever be justified?
How much should we give to charity?
