The Limits of Morality?

Thursday 26^th January 7.30pm

Moordown Community Centre, Coronation Avenue, Moordown, Bournemouth. BH9 1TW

An introduction to the radical ethical philosophy of Peter Singer, led by David Warden and Matt Coussell.

Philosopher Peter Singer helped launch the worldwide animal rights movement, and has also done significant work towards soliciting vastly more aid for the world's poor.

But is he justified in suggesting we are morally obliged to sacrifice many of our modern pleasures to reduce suffering?*

Are there limits to the demands that morality can make on us?

Come and join us for what promises to be a lively evening, as we investigate, debate and discuss Peter Singer’s challenging morality.

Everyone welcome!

Free entry (donations appreciated)

*If you’d like to get acquainted with Peter's views on our moral obligations to those in   poverty, prior to this meeting, have a look at his short paper entitled, ‘Famine, Affluence and Morality’: http://homepages.wmich.edu/~bjr7864/Singer_famine.pdf 

These ideas are developed more fully in his recent book, 'The Life You Can Save’ which has a corresponding website here:  http://www.thelifeyoucansave.com/
