"e;Is there still anything worth living for? Is anything worth pursuing, apart from money, love, and caring for one's own family?"e; Internationally known social philosopher and ethicist Peter Singer has an answer to these and other questions in this compelling new volume. "e;If we can detach ourselves from our own immediate preoccupations and look at the world as a whole and our place in it, there is something absurd about the idea that people should have trouble finding something to live for."e;Singer suggests that people who take an ethical approach to life often avoid the trap of meaninglessness, finding a deeper satisfaction in what they are doing than those people whose goals are narrower and more self-centered. He spells out what he means by an ethical approach to life, and shows that it can bring about significant and far-reaching changes to one's life.
