"""This is an excellent book, and it provides a helpful survey of the area while simultaneously exploring many arguments and ideas in significant depth. Arnold, Brennan, Chappell, and Davis provide a good diversity of perspectives on beneficence—Effective Altruism in particular—and when it is good, just, virtuous, and morally required. In each of the four parts, the authors collectively demonstrate that the issues discussed are rich and multidimensional; there are often more than just two sides to take (sometimes there are at least four!)."" - Theron Pummer, University of Saint Andrews, UK ""This is an excellent book, and it provides a helpful survey of the area while simultaneously exploring many arguments and ideas in significant depth.
