Modern Ethics in 77 Arguments: A Stone Reader by
4.0
77 short essays reflecting on modern issues compiled from a range of sources over several years. The book was organized in a great way, by topic. No one essay was incredibly complex, but many were very thought provoking. They introduced new concepts to me, and bolstered my understanding of older ones.
This is philosophy as it was meant to be done, in my opinion. Short opinion pieces that challenge you to think about a topic in a new light, and then inspire further research and reflection. I thought most of the essays were worthy of my time (only a few I would call trash). I thoroughly enjoyed about 20% of them, which is really a very high percentage for a collection of essays.
