Love him or hate him, you certainly can't ignore him. For the past twenty-five years, Australian philosopher and professor of bioethics Peter Singer has pushed the buttons of our collective conscience. A passionate founder of the modern animal rights movement, Singer has challenged our most closely held beliefs on the obligations of the rich to the poor, infanticide, euthanasia, the moral status of all animals, and much more, with arguments that intrigue as often and as powerfully as they incite.
'Writings On An Ethical Life' presents a comprehensive collection of Signer's best and most provocative writing, as chosen by Singer himself. Among the controversial subjects addressed are animal rights, environmental accountability, abortion, euthanasia, and the ethics of our responsibility for the world's poorest people, providing an unsurpassed view of the underpinnings of Singer's governing philosophy.
