- Summary:
-
"What does Peter Singer say about issues such as abortion, infanticide, euthanasia and animal rights? What does he say about Christianity? What exactly is his philosophy? These and other important questions about Peter Singer's views are addressed in a respectful but incisive way in this book by four fellow Australian scholars - Gordon Preece, Graham Cole, Lindsay Wilson and Andrew Sloane." "This is a book not only for those who want to understand Peter Singer's views but for all those who want to understand the thinking that more and more informs all of our society's views on moral issues."--BOOK JACKET.
