Description

In this wide-ranging collection of brief essays, Peter Singer applies clear, rigorous philosophical reasoning to the urgent moral questions of everyday life. He examines issues including global poverty, climate change, animal welfare, abortion, euthanasia, democracy, and the responsibilities of individuals in an interconnected world. Provocative yet accessible, the book challenges readers to reconsider familiar assumptions and think more carefully about how their choices affect others. Together, these essays offer a compelling introduction to practical ethics and to Singer’s influential approach to making moral philosophy relevant to real-world decisions.
