Description

Famine, Affluence and Morality by Peter Singer is a thought-provoking essay that challenges our moral obligations to others. In this concise edition, Singer presents his argument that we have the same responsibility to help those in need, regardless of their distance from us. Singer's extreme stand on our moral duties to others has sparked intense debate and remains a powerful call to action today. This collection includes the original article, two recent writings on our obligations to others around the world, and a new introduction by Singer that discusses his current thinking. A timely and thought-provoking read, this edition is an attractive package for anyone interested in ethics, philosophy, or global issues.
