In Ethics for Beginners , celebrated philosopher Peter Kreeft reclaims the importance of ethical study in answering life’s big questions: What is the meaning of life? How should I live? How should I treat other people? Unlike many modern texts on the subject, this one asserts that ethics is real, that good and evil are knowable, and that we can learn to act well and so become better and happier people. Surveying the “big ideas” of the thirty-two most important ethical philosophers, Ethics for Beginners is an apprenticeship to the greatest minds in history. With expert analysis and reflection from Kreeft, it offers a challenging and unforgettable treatment that is suitable for classroom and individual use alike. Review: Best overview of ethical theories I've ever read - Kreeft says the book is written for "intelligent beginners," yet I--someone with a grad degree in philosophy who has taught at the college level for more than 20 years--found Ethics for Beginners interesting and helpful. Kreeft displays a remarkable ability to explain ideas clearly, and he excels at explaining how one thinker's ideas relate to others'. I bought five more copies to gift to my colleagues in character education who do not have backgrounds in moral philosophy. The book would be perfect for a college or upper-level high-school course on ethics or on the history of ideas. Review: Truth is ALWAYS simple - But, that doesn’t mean the truth is easy to find, accept, or most challengingly — live. Peter Kreeft gives inspiring vignettes on many ethical philosophers throughout the centuries and ages. They are introductory and very helpful in gaining a foundational understanding for the main tenets of each philosopher. Having only a B.A. in Philosophy, I still found this book challenging from an academic standpoint, but I also found it digestible... Couldn’t believe I finished it in less than a week. It was a phenomenal summary of ethics and helped me tie up loose ends from my B.A. almost 20 years ago. It helped me want to live out my ethical values AND dig deeper. An extremely beautiful gift from the author!!! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #56,294 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #21 in Religious Ethics (Books) #58 in Religion & Philosophy (Books) #206 in Philosophy of Ethics & Morality | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 68 Reviews | ## Images ![Ethics for Beginners: Big Ideas from 32 Great Minds - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91LV6Ir9rtL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best overview of ethical theories I've ever read *by P***R on January 13, 2025* Kreeft says the book is written for "intelligent beginners," yet I--someone with a grad degree in philosophy who has taught at the college level for more than 20 years--found Ethics for Beginners interesting and helpful.

An extremely beautiful gift from the author!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple but illuminating *by M***P on October 6, 2024* Dr. Kreeft has done it again (for about the 80th time) in this book. Here are several exceptionally clear overviews of the most important ethical thinkers in the history of the West (and East!). I am teaching an introductory class to philosophy, with a heavy focus on ethics, at a university right now, and have found this book a goldmine for preparing lectures. The way he lays out each thinker makes their overarching vision transparent and thus gives one a great foundation for tackling their texts in more depth. Highly recommended. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/632732202-ethics-for-beginners-big-ideas-from-32-great-minds](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/632732202-ethics-for-beginners-big-ideas-from-32-great-minds) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
