Description

The Buddhist and the Ethicist brings together Eastern spirituality and utilitarian philosophy in unique dialogues between a Buddhist monastic and a moral philosopher, addressing issues like animal welfare, gender equality, the death penalty, and more.

An unlikely duo—Professor Peter Singer, a preeminent Australian philosopher and professor of bioethics, and Venerable Shih Chao-Hwei, a Taiwanese Buddhist monastic and social activist—join forces to engage in lively conversations that cross oceans, overcome language barriers, and bridge philosophies.

Together, these two deep thinkers explore the foundation of ethics and key Buddhist concepts. Ultimately, they reveal how we can all move toward making the world a better place.
