Description
A landmark work in applied ethics, this book examines how moral reasoning can guide decisions in the face of complex real-world dilemmas. Drawing on utilitarianism and the principle of giving equal consideration to interests, it challenges conventional assumptions about poverty, animal welfare, abortion, euthanasia, and the value of human life. Through clear arguments and compelling examples, it asks readers to move beyond instinct and social convention toward a more impartial, consistent approach to ethical living. Rigorous yet accessible, it remains a provocative invitation to reconsider the responsibilities individuals have in an interconnected world.
