Ethics in the real world

- I'm a fan of Peter Singer and I read all his work on Project Syndicate. This book compilates some of his most relevant essays on animal rights, immigration, abortion, climate change and more. Even if you don't agree with him, it will make you think deeply and exercise your ability to become a critical thinker. He approaches every topic with so much genuine respect, never patronizing or demeaning.
- While most of the content is evergreen, some of the essays are a bit dated (in regards to legislation mentioned, topic awareness, societal views).
