书籍简介

1972年，彼得·辛格发表了《饥荒、富裕与道德》，这篇文章迅速成为应用伦理学中讨论相当广泛的文章之一。通过这篇文章，辛格提出了他的观点，即我们对远方的人和对身边的人有同样的道德义务。他认为，选择不给地球另一端的饥饿人口送去救命钱，在道德上相当于忽略了对溺水儿童的救援，因为我们不愿意弄脏我们的鞋子。如果我们能够帮助，我们就必须帮助，任何借口都是虚伪的。辛格对捐赠标准的极端立场已经成为现代哲学中一个强有力的讨论话题，并继续挑战人们对极端贫困的态度。

正如比尔和梅琳达·盖茨在他们的前言中所说，辛格的文章在今天和以前一样具有现实意义。这个简短的版本提供了一个有价值的集合，包括原始文章、辛格关于我们对贫困人口的义务的两篇更受欢迎的文章，以及辛格的一个新的介绍，以他目前的思想推进这个主题。

In 1972, Peter Singer published "Famine, Affluence and Morality," which rapidly became one of the most widely discussed essays in applied ethics. Through this article, Singer presents his view that we have the same moral obligations to those far away as we do to those close to us. He argues that choosing not to send life saving money to starving people on the other side of the earth is the moral equivalent of neglecting to save drowning children because we prefer not to muddy our shoes. If we can help, we must-and any excuse is hypocrisy. Singer's extreme stand on the standard of giving has become a powerful topic of discussion in modern philosophy and continues to challenge people's attitudes towards extreme poverty.

As Bill and Melinda Gates observe in their foreword, Singer's essay is as relevant today as it ever was. This short edition provides a valuable collection of the original article, two of Singer's more popular writings on our obligations to those in poverty and a new introduction by Singer that advances the topic with his current thinking.
