'This is an eminently readable introduction to moral philosophy. A
useful introductory text.' Gail Tulloch, Griffith University
'It is good to find an 'introductory text' on ethics which uses
the first person and puts its cards directly on the table: ...
Nuttall takes a 'problems' approach to ethics, with a strong
emphasis on the personal.' Australian Journal of
Philosophy
'Moral Questions can be recommended to anyone beginning
moral philosophy, but especially to those with only a small or no
experience of philosophy. Jon Nuttall is a good guide to the moral
maze. He knows his way through whilst not missing what there is to
be seen of interest on the way. It would be particularly suitable
for 'A' level students and first-year undergraduates. One would
also recommend it to students taking moral philosophy as part of
another discipline or training - nurses, midwives, doctors or
business students.'
Robert Campbell, Principal Lecturer in Philosophy, Bolton
Institute, and Chief Examiner, 'A' Level Philosophy, A. E. B.
(1987-92)
'The book is written with a commendable clarity and lack of
technicality ... stimulating and useful.' The
Philosopher
