“An enterprise like this sets out to be comprehensive, authoritative and contemporary, to lay out the content in a coherent and user-friendly way, to set up intelligent cross-references between entries that authentically reflect overlaps and distinctions between definitions and methods, to capture the international flavour of ethics and its associations with culture and philosophy and morality and to connect everything up to the rich and challenging historiography and bibliography in all these areas. No small task, then, and it is achieved well in this impressive work. . . . Turning to the content of the encyclopedia itself, this reviewer has had the pleasure of working with it on several weeks now – using it for research and lecturing as well as with student project and reference work. Its strengths come through time and time again, in many ways and at various levels of inquiry. . . .This encyclopedia is an impressive and distinctive addition to the field and is likely, in either of its forms, to be the authority for many years to come.”
Stuart Hannabuss, (2014) "The International Encyclopedia of Ethics", Reference Reviews, Vol. 28 Issue: 4, pp.11-13, https://doi-org.ezproxy.lib.usf.edu/10.1108/RR-11-2013-0285

"The International Encyclopedia of Ethics is sure to become a core resource in the field. . . . Over nine volumes, the encyclopedia addresses the themes, eras, influential people, and theories related to ethics. . . . Each entry has embedded cross-referencing within the article, a complete cross-reference list at the end of the article, references, and further readings. Additionally, there is a highly detailed index at the end of volume 9, making this resource extremely accessible. . . . The review process of each entry—each article was vetted by a rigorous blind peer-review process—makes for an authoritative source in ethics . . . This set is highly recommended for libraries in higher education. . . . It will be particularly useful for undergraduate students, graduate students, and scholars, who will likely find it to be an invaluable resource."

"This will be a welcome addition to electronic or Print reference collections in libraries of all sizes."
