What Would You Do If Your Most Sacred Beliefs Were Wrong?
A philosopher walks into a lecture hall and calmly argues that some human lives aren't worth living, that eating meat is morally equivalent to racism, and that letting your child die might sometimes be the right choice. The audience doesn't applaud-they riot. Police escorts become necessary. Death threats arrive. This isn't hypothetical. This is what happened to Peter Singer, whose book *Practical Ethics* forces us to confront a terrifying possibility: that our deepest moral convictions might be nothing more than comfortable illusions. Singer doesn't offer feel-good ethics or easy answers. Instead, he hands us a mirror and asks us to look at the reflection honestly, even when what we see makes us recoil. His work has been translated into fifteen languages and sparked protests across continents, not because he's cruel, but because he refuses to let sentiment override reason. What makes someone "the most influential living philosopher" to some and "the most dangerous man in the world" to others? The willingness to follow logic wherever it leads, even into the darkest corners of our moral universe.
