Lex Fridman Lex Fridman Podcast · Jul 2020 Why people recommend it
Ethics in the Real World by Peter Singer is a collection of accessible essays exploring pressing moral issues, poverty, animal welfare, and applied ethics. Alex O’Connor recommended Ethics in the Real World during an episode of Modern Wisdom, noting that it stands out as a strong collection of essays by Peter Singer addressing various ethical questions. Additionally, Lex Fridman brought up the book on the Lex Fridman Podcast to praise it as an amazing work that listeners should check out. Fridman also referenced the book during his introduction to summarize Peter Singer's extensive written contributions from an ethical perspective on topics including extreme poverty, euthanasia, human genetic selection, sports doping, kidney sales, and general happiness. While discussing his updated views on charitable giving and percentages of income that scale up as earnings increase, Peter Singer himself pointed listeners toward another of his works, The Life You Can Save, rather than Ethics in the Real World. Both books frequently surface in discussions regarding applied philosophy and actionable altruism, with podcasters highlighting their clarity and relevance to contemporary human challenges.
