“Living Ethics shows college students how to break down, analyze, and evaluate an argument. It does an excellent job at transitioning between ideas, seamlessly showing how one concept naturally leads to the next, and why it is relevant to the overall argument or moral system being presented. Shafer-Landau also does an excellent job of nuancing each argument and explaining its initial intuitive support.” — David Burris, Arizona Western College
