The Life-Saving Analogy
In The Moral Demands of Affluence. Oxford, GB: Oxford University Press UK. pp. 7-15 (2006)
Abstract
Many writers have followed Peter Singer in drawing an analogy between assisting needy people at a distance and saving someone’s life directly. Arguments based on this analogy can take either a subsumptive or a non-subsumptive form. Such arguments face a serious methodological challenge.Author's Profile
