Reviews"This is a superb collection and the best textbook in this area that I've seen. Its main strengths are the range of issues it covers, the wonderful way it excerpts longer pieces, and its discussion questions. Timmons' writing style is excellent--it is clear, engaging, and well-suited to undergraduate students. Disputed Moral Issues is the backbone of my course."--Adam Cureton, University of Tennessee "I have the highest praise for Disputed Moral Issues in terms of its content, accessibility, and ability to foster lively debate on contemporary moral issues."--Frank Schalow, University of New Orleans "This reader is exceptionally well done. The connection between theory and application is made beautifully clear."--Sara Roberts-Cady, Fort Lewis College, "This is a superb collection and the best textbook in this area that I've seen.
