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.

An excellent course on philosophical topics related to altruism. Also, a practical guide that can help steer charity from less to more worthy causes.
von ND29. März 2018
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.
von AP5. Dez. 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.

Simulataneously impractical learning yet the most practical and important topics you'll consider all your life.
