Filosofia

Peter Singer on vaikutusvaltainen australialainen filosofi, joka tunnetaan työstään eläinten oikeuksien, bioetiikan ja globaalin köyhyyden parissa.
Vuonna 1946 syntynyt Singer on kirjoittanut lukuisia kirjoja, mukaan lukien uraauurtavan teoksen "Animal Liberation" (1975).
Hän on professori Princetonin yliopistossa ja häntä pidetään yhtenä maailman vaikutusvaltaisimmista ajattelijoista.
Singerin utilitaristinen lähestymistapa etiikkaan haastaa usein perinteisiä moraalikäsityksiä, erityisesti eläinten kohtelun ja elämän loppuvaiheen kysymysten osalta.
Hänen työnsä on käännetty yli 30 kielelle, ja hän on perustanut voittoa tavoittelemattoman järjestön kirjansa "The Life You Can Save" pohjalta edistääkseen tehokasta hyväntekeväisyyttä.

Worth my money and time, and really well made. I've never seen this quality of summaries on other websites. Very helpful!

Highly recommended!! Fantastic service. Perfect for those that want a little more than a teaser but not all the intricate details of a full audio book.
