Practical Ethics

Discover the groundbreaking insights of "Practical Ethics" by Peter Singer. Explore ethical dilemmas and moral philosophy in this thought-provoking book.

Practical Ethics

Author: Peter Singer

Peter Singer’s “Practical Ethics” challenges readers to confront uncomfortable moral dilemmas head-on. I found myself questioning long-held beliefs as Singer dissects issues like animal rights and global poverty. His clear, logical arguments are compelling, yet I couldn’t help but feel uneasy at times. This isn’t light reading, but it’s essential for anyone seeking to develop a more rigorous ethical framework. Singer’s ideas have stuck with me long after finishing the book.

All the arguments to prove man's superiority cannot shatter this hard fact: in suffering the animals are our equals.
