In the post (http://www.onlyonesolution.org/blog/blog/2015/07/01/from-groundbreaking-animal-liberation-to-neverending-animal-exploitation)about the last and extremely depressing chapter of Peter Singer’s last and extremely depressing book, we’ve addressed a scenario comparison made by the philosopher Derek Parfit (quoted by Singer) regarding the moral obligations for future generations.
In this post we want to address Parfit’s most famous contribution to the field of population ethics which is a paradox in moral philosophy called The Repugnant Conclusion.
