Effective altruism is built on the simple but unsettling idea that living a fully ethical life involves doing the most good one can. In this course you will examine this idea's philosophical underpinnings; meet remarkable people who have restructured their lives in accordance with it; and think about how effective altruism can be put into practice in your own life.

What is the Best Cause? How Much Ought We Do to Help Others?

One of the guests this week is Elie Hassenfeld from GiveWell, an organization that tries to find the answers to these questions. This week you will also meet three individuals who in different ways embody the ideal of effective altruism: Zell Kravinsky, Julia Wise and Alexander Berger.

Excellent material on a much needed topic. The course brought together a good number of strong and important ideas, well backed by research and with very interesting and relevant guest speakers.
от партнера LCApr 18, 2017
What a wonderful course. It gives each of us a way to help in the best possible manner. One would think that only serious philanthropists can help when in fact every single person can.
от партнера JTMar 28, 2017
Thought provoking and persuasive, this course is both an excellent introduction to the study of ethics and to the growing movement striving for a better world - effective altruism.
от партнера HDJun 6, 2016
Audited the course. Found the information quite useful. In the quest to live an evermore ethical life, Peter Singer helps to bring light to the issues at hand in an accessible way.
от партнера KPJan 11, 2019
This course is excellent, especially for those wanting to understand the basics to ethics and Peter Singer’s (and others) thinking. Good amount of detail and well-structured.
от партнера AWSep 13, 2017
An excellent course on philosophical topics related to altruism. Also, a practical guide that can help steer charity from less to more worthy causes.
от партнера APDec 5, 2015
Thought provoking, were well orchestrated, I am learning, and I am moved, and I think we are all moved towards making the world a better place.

I really enjoyed the course and it went beyond my expectations. The best part for me were the discussions Peter had with the various guests.
