Singer claims he has two goals in writing this book, one practical and the other theoretical. What are these goals and how are they connected?
Which of Singer’s thought experiments did you find the most provocative? Why? What philosophical point was it trying to make? Did it succeed? Why or why not?
What is the fundamental argument of the book? Is it valid? How do the three premises of this argument work to necessitate the conclusion? If the argument is convincing, explain why. If not, explain why not.
