Reviews

Wanda Teays has established an effective approach for using film to reveal contexts in which ethical dilemmas lurk. Her methodology will attract not only scholars of philosophy and film, but also students in business ethics classes whose recurrent theme is: Make this real! Teays has done just that with her handling of the reels of film that will resonate in the classroom with her checklist pedagogy for working out the cases. This is a text you must adopt. -- Michael Boylan, Professor of Philosophy, Marymount University, USA
