What reviewers are saying

“This book is unique in providing a clear, thoughtful introduction to ethical theory and moral practice by placing them within a deep and profound aspect of human existence: loving relationships,” Dr. David Boersema, Pacific University, Oregon.

“I find this to be a brilliant account of a love-based ethics … Fitz-Gibbon is particularly ingenious in the way he uses rather than refutes established positions in moral philosophy, uses them to show that they imply or support or are improved by his ethics of love,” Dr. Joseph Betz, Villanova University.

“The focus on love as a central part of ethics is wonderful, and I can’t think of any other book that I’ve used that shows how love is central to thinking about ethics,” Dr. Danielle Poe, University of Dayton.
