For thirty years, Peter Singer's Practical Ethics has been the
classic introduction to applied ethics. For this third edition, the
author has revised and updated all the chapters, and added a new
chapter addressing climate change, one of the most important
ethical challenges of our generation. Some of the questions
discussed in this book concern our daily lives. Is it ethical to
buy luxuries when others do not have enough to eat? Should we buy
meat from intensively reared animals? Am I doing something wrong if
my carbon footprint is above the global average? Other questions
confront us as concerned citizens: equality and discrimination on
the grounds of race or sex; abortion, the use of embryos for
research, and euthanasia; political violence and terrorism; and the
preservation of our planet's environment. This book's lucid style
and provocative arguments make it an ideal text for university
courses and for anyone willing to think about how she or he ought
to live.
