In 1972, Peter Singer published "Famine, Affluence and Morality,"
which rapidly became one of the most widely discussed essays in
applied ethics. Through this article, Singer presents his view that
we have the same moral obligations to those far away as we do to
those close to us. He argues that choosing not to send life saving
money to starving people on the other side of the earth is the
moral equivalent of neglecting to save drowning children because we
prefer not to muddy our shoes. If we can help, we must-and any
excuse is hypocrisy. Singer's extreme stand on the standard of
giving has become a powerful topic of discussion in modern
philosophy and continues to challenge people's attitudes towards
extreme poverty. As Bill and Melinda Gates observe in their
foreword, Singer's essay is as relevant today as it ever was. This
short edition provides a valuable collection of the original
article, two of Singer's more popular writings on our obligations
to those in poverty and a new introduction by Singer that advances
the topic with his current thinking.
