It is tailor-made for upper-division courses on Moral Weakness, Praise and Blame, Action Explanation, and other such topics. It can function as the text for Ethics, Moral Issues, Moral Decision, and other such topics. It can also function as a text for an Introduction to Philosophy, when augmented with other texts. In some contexts the text can stand-alone, but it functions especially well when augmented by secondary sources. By strategically pairing secondary texts with the primary texts, a professor can focus on different epochs, or selections, as personal taste directs. (From internet site "Linus Publications")
