Book Description

“Peter Singer's Practical Ethics has been a timeless classic, serving as a compelling and thought-provoking introduction to the world of applied ethics for over three decades. In this eagerly awaited third edition, the esteemed author has meticulously revised and updated all chapters, presenting contemporary insights and perspectives on ethical dilemmas that pervade our lives.

One of the highlights of this new edition is the addition of a brand-new chapter dedicated to the critical issue of climate change. As one of the most pressing ethical challenges of our generation, Singer delves into the moral implications of our actions and inactions in the face of this global crisis.

Throughout the book, Singer fearlessly confronts questions that are deeply intertwined with our daily existence, forcing readers to grapple with their own ethical choices. Is it morally justifiable to indulge in luxuries when others suffer from hunger and deprivation? Should we support industries that exploit intensively reared animals for our consumption? Are we culpable for exceeding the global average carbon footprint and contributing to climate change?

As engaged citizens, the readers are also challenged to contemplate broader ethical dilemmas concerning equality and discrimination based on race or gender, contentious topics like abortion, embryo research, and euthanasia, and the complexities of political violence and terrorism. Furthermore, the book also emphasizes the critical significance of preserving our planet's environment, urging readers to consider the moral responsibilities we have towards safeguarding the Earth's natural resources for future generations.

Singer's writing style is lucid and accessible, making the book an ideal text for university courses on applied ethics. However, its appeal transcends academia, as it captivates any reader willing to reflect on how their actions align with ethical principles. Whether you are a student, a concerned citizen, or simply someone interested in introspection and moral deliberation, Practical Ethics promises to provoke deep contemplation on how each individual should navigate the complexities of modern life and determine their ethical course of action.”
