Ethics for A-Level

A first-year college textbook that walks through moral relativism, divine command theory, virtue ethics, egoism, utilitarianism, Kantian deontology, and feminist ethics. Each chapter is short, clear, and ends with further readings.

George Matthews (ed.)

An open reader that pairs short explanations of the major moral theories with classic and contemporary essays. It moves from relativism and egoism to utilitarianism and Kant, then applies them to topics like punishment, immigration, and animals.

Noah Levin (ed.)

A college reader that introduces each moral theory and then lets the philosophers speak for themselves, from Plato, Aristotle, and Epictetus to Hume, Kant, Mill, and Nietzsche. Study questions follow every reading.

Lee Archie and John G. Archie

A short, accessible introduction to moral reasoning through one concrete question: how should we treat animals? It teaches how to build and test arguments on food, experimentation, and animal rights.
