About this listen

An unlikely duo—Professor Peter Singer, a preeminent philosopher and professor of bioethics, and Venerable Shih Chao-Hwei, a Taiwanese Buddhist monastic and social activist—join forces to talk ethics in lively conversations that cross oceans, overcome language barriers, and bridge philosophies. The eye-opening dialogues collected here share unique perspectives on contemporary issues like animal welfare, gender equality, the death penalty, and more. Together, these two deep thinkers explore the foundation of ethics and key Buddhist concepts, and ultimately reveal how we can all move toward making the world a better place.

Some good chapters, some irrelevant chapters

Some chapters were really interesting, for instance how buddhists and effective altruists look at animal welfare. However, some topics are a bit more philosophical and have less real-world impact, like the precise of details of when abortion should be allowed.
