We will be starting a new book for this meeting: Ethics in the Real World: 82 Brief Essays on Things that Matter (2016) by Peter Singer. This book can be purchased in paperback for around $15 and as an ebook for around $10.

Singer is a bit controversial because of some of his positions, particularly concerning animal rights. In his new book he addresses this and other ethical questions that come up in ordinary life. It is the sort of book that we can jump around in depending on people’s interest. For the 24^th we’ll read the Introduction and the Big Questions section.
