Practical Ethics has become a classic introduction to applied ethics. Peter Singer addresses the application of ethics to controversial and difficult social issues: equality and discrimination based on race, sex, ability, or species; abortion, euthanasia, and embryo experimentation; the moral status of animals; political violence and civil disobedience; foreign aid and the obligation to help others; responsibility for the environment; and the treatment of refugees. Singer explains and evaluates the relevant arguments in a perceptive and non-doctrinaire manner. Through the structure of the book, he shows how current controversies often have deep philosophical roots and presents an ethical theory of his own that can be applied convincingly and coherently to all practical cases.
