…Nice (but opinionated and now ~50y old) overview: Bertrand Russell's "History of Western Philosophy". Long but extremely readable. Not necessarily very reliable. Ethics specifically: Peter Singer's "Practical ethics". Note that Singer thinks that we (in the affluent West) should all be giving a lot more than most of us do to help less well-off people, and that non-human animals' welfare is much more important than…
…era which had slavery, didn't treat women equal to man and killed homosexuals could possibly teach something unique. There are bunch of atheist ethics philosophers who talk about good and bad. I read Practical Ethics by Peter singer and even left eating mammalian meat after that. And I totally realize that person who wrote Bible could not have possibly thought about these eternal truths(which are always evolving)…
I read practical ethics by Peter Singer in a time of my life when I was struggling to justify my way of life. It pushed me down a path that I still follow today. Gösta Berling's tale by Selma Lagerlöf was also very defining.…
I highly recommend 'Practical Ethics' by 'Peter Singer'. You will start seeing how you can apply critical thinking to various moral questions in life without clinging to any religious book. If there are facts to learn about human happiness…
Whenever it comes to philosophy, I always recommend Peter Singer -- just about anything by him is great. Consider Practical Ethics [1], or the recently-released-free The Life You Can Save 10th anniversary edition [2] [1] https://www.amazon.com/Practical-Ethics-Peter-Singer/dp/0521...

…不错的（虽然主观性很强，而且现在已经有大概50年历史了）全景概览：伯特兰·罗素的《西方哲学史》。篇幅很长，但极具可读性。倒不一定非常靠谱。具体到伦理学：彼得·辛格的《实践伦理学》。需要说明的是，辛格认为我们（富裕的西方世界的人）都应该付出比绝大多数人现在所做的多得多的努力去帮助境况较差的人，而且非人类动物的福利远比…

…一个存在奴隶制、女性地位不平等、还会处死同性恋的时代，怎么可能教给人什么独特的东西。有很多无神论伦理哲学家都在探讨善与恶。我读了彼得·辛格的《实践伦理学》，之后甚至连哺乳动物的肉都不吃了。我完全意识到，写《圣经》的人根本不可能想明白这些永恒的真理（这些真理一直在演进）…

我是在人生中一段苦苦挣扎着去证明自己生活方式正当性的时期，读了彼得·辛格的《实践伦理学》。它把我推上了一条我至今仍在遵循的道路。塞尔玛·拉格洛夫的《戈斯塔·贝林故事集》对我也有极其深远的影响。…

针对这个语境，我推荐彼得·辛格的《实践伦理学》。这本书读起来算不上轻松，但相当深入地探讨了那些问题。
I recommend Peter Singer's "Practical Ethics" in this context. It is not exactly light reading, but discusses those issues at quite some length.
我强烈推荐彼得·辛格的《实践伦理学》。你就会开始明白，如何在不依附于任何宗教典籍的情况下，把批判性思维应用到生活中的各种道德问题上。如果说关于人类幸福确实有什么客观事实需要去探究…

只要一聊到哲学，我总是会推荐彼得·辛格——他写的书几乎本本都很棒。可以考虑看看《实践伦理学》[1]，或者是最近刚免费发布的《你能拯救的生命》十周年纪念版[2] [1] https://www.amazon.com/Practical-Ethics-Peter-Singer/dp/0521... [2] https://www.thelifeyoucansave.org/the-book/
