Unsanctifying Human Life

"As a writer about ethical issues, Peter Singer has no equal. He is our most influential philosopher because no one else has written about the tough questions with such fearless good sense. How he does it is a mystery: how can these essays be so intellectually rigorous, so calm and dispassionate, so morally compelling, and such fun to read all at the same time?" James Rachels, University of Alabama at Birmingham

"This book offers a judicious selection from the vast body of Peter Singer's writings. It demonstrates the extraordinary range, acumen, consistency, and fundamental moral decency of his philosophical thought. Anyone – including Singer's critics – would benefit from, and be improved by, a close and fair-minded reading of this book." Jeff McMahan, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

"One of the most influential philosophers of our times."
