Louis Pojman

Louis Pojman is a well-known ethicist who has written many good books on the topic. He taught at WestPoint Academy for 9 years before his death. I have read one of his books and found it to be the best introduction to ethics I have read. That being Ethics: Discovering Right and Wrong, 5th Edition. He died on October 15th of last year of liver cancer, cirrhosis, and hepatitis C. More on his life and death can be seen here.

He has taught me many things about ethics as I'm sure others would say who have read his work. It is fortunate that he existed and it seems left the world a better place than it otherwise would have been.
