About the Course

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. All the features of this course are available for free. It does not offer a certificate upon completion....

Excellent material on a much needed topic. The course brought together a good number of strong and important ideas, well backed by research and with very interesting and relevant guest speakers.

Know before you take this course that a certificate is not available. The course materials state specifically in several places that a certificate is available, and also that it can be purchased. Those statements are not true. This information comes too late for me, but maybe this information is useful for you if you see this post prior to starting the course.

Too much of a focus on philosophy of ethics and not enough real-world application into living an effectively altruistic life.

If you put the work in, the least that could be offered is a certificate.
