Rezension zu „Practical Ethics “
"...It is a widely read and widely taught introduction to the philosophical dimensions of practical moral problems... All of the chapters have been revised and updated, and a chapter has been added on climate change. Singer's lucid style of exposition and argument are perfect for this sort of introductory text. Every library should have a copy of this book... Highly recommended..." --J. H. Spence, Adrian College, CHOICE "...This third edition keeps the lucid style and provocative arguments of its predecessors, but with a more up to date perspective into current ethical challenges. This makes Practical Ethics not only an ideal text for university courses, but also for anyone who wants to dedicate some serious thinking into how she or he ought to live... remains a relevant and welcome contribution to ethics." --Laura Cabrera, Institute for Biomedical Ethics, Basel University, Metapsychology Online Review
