Peter Singer's remarkably clear and comprehensive Practical Ethics has  become  a  classic  introduction  to  applied  ethics  since  its 


publication  in  1979  and  has  been  translated  into  many  languages.  For  this  second  edition  the  author  has  revised  all  the 


existing  chapters,  added  two  new  ones,  and  updated  the  bibliography.  He  has  also  added  an  appendix  describing  some  of 


the  deep misunderstanding of,  and consequent violent  reaction 


to,  the  book  in  Germany, Austria,  and  Switzerland where  the 


book  has  tested  the  limits  of  freedom  of  speech. 





The focus of the book  is the application of ethics  to difficult and 


controversial  social  questions:  equality  and  discrimination  by 


race,  sex,  ability,  or  species;  abortion,  euthanasia,  and  embryo 


experimentation;  the Moral Status of animals; political violence 


and civil  disobedience;  overseas aid and  the obligation  to assist 


others;  responsibility  for  the environment;  the  treatment of refugees.  Singer  explains  and  assesses  relevant  arguments  in  a 


perspicuous,  non doctrinaire  way.  He  structures  the  book  to 


show  how  contemporary  controversies  often  have  deep  philosophical roots; and he presents an ethical theory of his own that 


can be applied  consistently and convincingly  to all  the practical 


cases. 





The  book's  primary  readership  remains  teachers  and  students 


of  ethics  whether  in  philosophy  or  some  other  branch  of  the 


humanities  or  social  sciences.  However,  such  is  the  clarity  of 


the book's style and structure that it should interest any thinking 


person concerned with  the most difficult social problems  facing 


us  as we  approach  the  twenty-frst  century.
