Doing Ethics: Moral Reasoning and Contemporary IssuesReceived the wrong book the book that they are displaying is not the book you receive. In fact I received a custom edition which only had 7 chapters in it. The correct book I needed was what the picture was showing and that one has 17 chapters. Everywhere else I have looked since I have to re-order this book for my current class I am in, shows two versions one is a Custom Third Edition and the other one is Third Edition.The book I received's Title is Doing Ethics, Moral Reasoning and Contemporary Issues Custom Third Edition, A Moral Theory Primer. No unless I am blind that is not what the picture is displaying it is missing Custom Third Edition and A Moral Theory Primer. Customer service has been no help want me to pay a 15% re shelving fee to return book, they keep saying they sent me what I ordered. Will never purchase from indoobestsellers again.
NOTE: This is a review on the contents of the Third Edition. (From reading other reviews, it appears that some students are receiving an abridged version.)Over my nearly 30 years of teaching philosophy I have had the opportunity to use dozens of different ethics texts and have perused many others. "Doing Ethics," by Lewis Vaughn, is one of the best.Here are some of its advantages: Vaughn's text is one of the few that includes a balance of general and applied ethics. This makes it appropriate for both general ethics courses that wish to stress application as well as theory and applied ethics courses that wish to give the student a foundation in the rudiments of ethical theory. The first three parts include chapters in subjectivism and emotivism, deontological ethics, consequentialist ethics, virtue ethics, evaluating moral arguments, and the power of moral theories. Part 4 covers abortion, euthanasia, capital punishment, pornography and censorship, sexual morality, affirmative action, environmental ethics, animal rights, warfare, terrorism, and global economic justice.Unlike some anthologies, which are little more than a compilation of writings by various authors, Vaughn combines his own detailed analysis at the beginning of each chapter with substantial readings by philosophers. These readings, particularly in the theoretical section of the book, combine classical and contemporary presentations.

Yeah, I saw all the other reviews before I purchased this... And they all were right. The reason I decided to give it a shot is because I was going to buy from and not some other seller (saw a couple mentioned by name in other reviews) and because there were a couple reviews where they seemingly got the correct version. If you are looking for:Doing Ethics: Moral Reasoning and Contemporary Issues Custom Third Edition, A Moral Theory Primer 177 pages ISBN: 978-0-393-13746-0...then this is the one you are looking for.However, if you are going for:Doing Ethics: Moral Reasoning and Contemporary Issues Third Edition 775 pages ISBN: 978-0-393-91928-8...then you will want to look elsewhere.Thanks to for a speedy resolution, but I expected that would be on top of a problem like this (although it could be that pretty much everyone else bought from independent sellers and so this could be the first that is hearing about the issue)
