In "Living High and Letting Die", Peter Unger puts forward an argumet that
it is seriously wrong for people in the developed world to refrain from
doing everything they can to alleviate suffering and premature death in the
developing world. The argument is examined briefly and also information
about charity evaluation is presented, helping to add to the factual
information on the basis of which Peter Unger makes his argument. An
interesting feature of Peter Unger's presentation is that he says that he
can bracket the question of whether there are any objective moral truths.
Peter Unger's methodology and metaethical views are examined, and the
question is explored how we should assess Peter Unger's project from a
"naturalistic" point of view.
