From Library Journal: "Cohen was the author for 12 years of the popular Ethicist column for the New York Times Magazine, in which he addressed readers' questions about ethical issues they faced in their daily lives. Here, after a useful introduction in which he explains his methods and procedures, Cohen collects many of these columns, organized into thematic chapters around such topics as family, doctors and nurses, work, love and sex, money, and religion. Each chapter includes a preliminary essay in which Cohen comments on the general ethical questions surrounding that theme. Many of the questions concern issues of honesty, e.g., making a false statement about one's religion to avoid discrimination in a foreign country. Even those who disagree with his answers are likely to recognize that Cohen is an acute and caring writer. Anyone interested in ethical questions - and who is not? - will find this book valuable."
