An unlikely duo—Professor Peter Singer, a preeminent philosopher and professor of bioethics, and Venerable Shih Chao-Hwei, a Taiwanese Buddhist monastic and social activist—join forces to talk ethics in lively conversations that cross oceans, overcome language barriers, and bridge philosophies. The eye-opening dialogues collected here share unique perspectives on contemporary issues like animal welfare, gender equality, the death penalty, and more. Together, these two deep thinkers explore the foundation of ethics and key Buddhist concepts, and ultimately reveal how we can all move toward making the world a better place.

I think the intonation and narration from both presenters was spot on. not over exaggerated but delivered with precision, in my opinion.
the topics discussed are very important and they went through every topic thoroughly.

excellent narration

I enjoyed the two voices reading which made it move smoothly. However the best part came in the authors. To listen to an intellectual discussion that at times respected disagreement was brilliant. Challenged my thoughts. Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu.

The conversation we all needed to hear

I loved the simple language used to discuss big ideas. Everything was communicated clearly and effectively.

Great, thoughtful back and fourth
