The average rating for Lectures on Moral Philosophy based on 2 reviews is 4.5 stars.

Review # 1 was written on 2019-05-28 00:00:00 Joseph Hernandez I admit, I skipped some of Plato, and some of Rousseau. Can you blame me? Great collection of political excerpts anyhow, even if it's too Plato-heavy. Guy had terrible thoughts on political government that even he later repented of, so there's no need for over 100 pages for him.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-05-13 00:00:00 Vance Cook Read for college class, and I only read the assigned portion (up to page 436). Still a good experience reading the philosophers in their own words (Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Aquinas, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau). I give it four stars, not because I liked all the positions of the philosophers (I have many objections to most of the positions taken), but because I found the time reading them at this point in my life valuable. One gem from the book: "Indeed, without justice, what are kingdoms but great robberies? For what are robberies themselves, but little kingdoms?" -Augustine, (p. 189; City of God, IV, 4)
