Peter Singer Under Fire: The Moral Iconoclast Faces His Critics includes the philosopher's intellectual autobiography of his life, tells how he arrived at his many controversial viewpoints, and pairs this approach with fifteen essays from prominent critics of Singer. Each essay receives a reply from Singer. The blend of autobiography and careful back/forth debate makes for an outstanding survey of Singer's views on modern social issues and is a key acquisition for college-level holdings strong in either philosophical debate or social science.
