Review
"Moral Matters is a first-rate exploration of many of the important issues in applied or normative ethics."--Susan Dimock
"Moral Matters puts a marvelous breadth of concrete issues on the table, and the author expresses himself in a clear, thoughtful and engaging way... Many of the arguments are as well put as I've seen anywhere. Many are original. Many made me stop and think. Throughout the book has the great and rare virtue of being simple without being oversimplified."--David Schmidtz
"a refreshingly direct style; this book is easy to read, and Narveson pulls no punches."--Jocelyn Glidden
