This book came to me highly recommended, but I was disappointed. Part of my objection the author couldn't help: knowledge has advanced significantly since he wrote, and some of his statements are now known to be false. Ethics is worth reading as a classic of its time and genre, but be warned: the text is dense and complex--this is not a book to skim. It would be difficult to use it as a guide to living one's life, in my opinion.
