A review by situationnormal
The Elements of Moral Philosophy by James Rachels

2.0

Quite a lot of this book was incredibly biased. Plus, the thing cost $50 and it's a fricken' paperback of about 200 pages. What a rip-off. So, the book and I got off on the wrong start from the very beginning.

Anyway, though, I digress. The book was incredibly biased as a whole. While most of the time I agreed, it still pissed me off. The overview of Feminism, for a start, was particularly pathetic. Then there were just some times when it was so very obviously biased toward one theory over another that you're thinking, "Well, why even bother calling this a text book?"

However, I did like the examples. I did like the outlook on religion. Those were the only things that made the book worthwhile, as I found most of it opinionated and redundant. Maybe, once again, it's because I'm living in 2009 and I'm a reader, but a LOT of it seemed blatantly obvious to me.
