Peter Singer's homage to altruism asks the big questions of altruism. Many of the world's problems could be resolved if people thought not to accumulate material wealth and start seeing the world as a sort of collective, with every person in the great battle of life in it together, not just to rip up and profit from your foes. Many people would be more peaceful if there were fewer limitations on ordinary people from the great blockade of liberal democratic states. Since when do politicians have a precedent of the average citizen? The overall goal of freedom and peace permeate from the writings of Singer, similar to the great minds like Satre and company.
