Description
Peter Singer’s Practical Ethics has been a classic introduction to applied ethics for thirty years. In this third edition, the author revises and updates every chapter and adds a new one on climate change, one of the most important ethical challenges of our generation. Some of the questions discussed concern everyday life: Is it ethical to buy luxury goods when others do not have enough food? Should we buy meat from intensive animal farming? Am I doing something wrong if my carbon footprint is higher than the global average? Other questions faced by concerned citizens relate to equality and discrimination based on race or gender, abortion, the use of embryos for research, euthanasia, political violence, terrorism and protecting the environment. Written in an accessible style and presenting provocative arguments, the book is suitable for university seminars and for anyone willing to consider how we should live. The contents are in Czech.
