Seul et sans organisation, cet homme a tordu le bras de géants comme McDonald's, l'ancien puissant directeur du FBI John Edgar Hoover ou encore de l'Oréal. Afin de transformer le monde et de donner du sens à sa vie, Spira n'a cessé de développer ses propres méthodes : chercher le dialogue avant la confrontation ; toujours proposer une alternative crédible à ce que l'on dénonce ; éviter l'entre-soi des militants ; ne pas diviser le monde en saints et en pêcheurs... Sa vie est un shoot d'inspiration pure.

the arguments in Singer's short book are worth reviewing because they pose interesting questions about who we are and what we do - and perhaps especially so for health professionals who might think they already do a great deal for humanity. Richard Horton, The Lancet

For thirty years, Peter Singer's Practical Ethics has been the classic introduction to applied ethics. For this third edition, the author has revised and updated all the chapters, and added a new chapter addressing climate change, one of the most important ethical challenges of our generation. Some of the questions discussed in this book concern our daily lives. Is it ethical to buy luxuries when others do not have enough to eat? Should we buy meat from intensively reared animals? Am I doing something wrong if my carbon footprint is above the global average? Other questions confront us as concerned citizens: equality and discrimination on the grounds of race or sex; abortion, the use of embryos for research, and euthanasia; political violence and terrorism; and the preservation of our planet's environment. This book's lucid style and provocative arguments make it an ideal text for university courses and for anyone willing to think about how she or he ought to live.

'So the only question is: do animals other than man suffer?' One of the great moral philosophers of the modern age, Peter Singer asks unflinching questions about how we should live our lives.

What is ethics? Where do moral standards come from? Are they based on emotions, reason, or some innate sense of right and wrong?

Written with investigative vigour, provocative and controversial but always accessible, Eating is a hard-hitting exploration of our eating habits, making us look at what we eat as a moral issue.
