Practical Ethics is a work by philosopher Peter Singer that explores ethical principles applied to contemporary problems. The book addresses topics such as equality, abortion, euthanasia, animal rights, global poverty, and environmental responsibility, offering a deep and provocative analysis from a utilitarian perspective. Singer invites critical reflection on our actions and decisions, promoting an ethical approach based on reason and consideration of the consequences for all sentient beings.
Peter Albert David Singer is an Australian moral philosopher who is Emeritus Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University. Singer's work specialises in applied ethics, approaching the subject from a secular, utilitarian perspective. He wrote the book Animal Liberation (1975), in which he argues for vegetarianism, and the essay "Famine, Affluence, and Morality", which argues the moral imperative of donating to help the poor around the world. For most of his career he was a preference utilitarian. He revealed in The Point of View of the Universe (2014), co-authored with Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek, that he had become a hedonistic utilitarian.
