About the book: 2019 / It is no coincidence that the short essays written and published by the author over the years are collected under one cover. Whatever question Singer asks - from the hypothesis of a world government to charity, from surrogacy to euthanasia, from vegetarianism to robot rights - ethics remains the core of his thoughts. The world in which we live is rapidly changing. As a result of globalization, the rapid development of science and the emergence of new technologies, including social ones, modern man often faces difficult moral choices. How to behave in conditions that no one has ever encountered before? To approve or condemn phenomena that have never had an analogue in the history of mankind? For anyone who is not indifferent to the fate of our planet and the living creatures inhabiting it, Peter Singer’s book can become a reliable moral compass.
