Kevin Harville: This book points out aptly how several of our values, such as mercy and justice as one several pairs, come in conflict. It isn't so much a good value vs. a bad value in many cases, but that our values actually conflict. He covers this subject and hopefully contributes to the perception that most people intend to do good but simply weigh one value as higher than the other. This explains why, for instance, a judge may sentence a rich youth less severely than a poor youth, viewing the crime as either a mistake deserving mercy or a crime deserving justice, depending on the judge's own personal evaluation of or affinity for the youth.

Joe: This book claims to overcome moral relativism but engages in it. The original edition contained sections that were omitted in this new edition because they're obviously offensive to the modern sensibility. It's both discouraging to find these views and also undermining of one of the book's central premises.

Cairnwalker: This is a well-written introduction to practical ethics and more. A journalist, Kidder's first goal is to communicate clearly and effectively with a wide audience. Kidder gives readers a thorough discussion of what constitutes ethical thinking, including selected excellent quotes and references from historic and modern sources. His many examples can help real people faced with real ethical choices wade through "right versus wrong" moral temptations and, far more commonly and importantly, the "right versus right" dilemmas.
The book is a "chewer," but the meal is a virtual Thanksgiving.
