Books by Toby Ord

Toby Ord is a philosopher at the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University and one of the founders of the effective altruism movement. He is the author of The Precipice and has written widely on global health, moral uncertainty, and the long-term future of humanity. In 2009 he founded Giving What We Can, an organization that encourages pledges to donate a significant portion of income to effective causes. His work sits at the intersection of normative ethics, decision theory, and applied policy, and he is widely cited in both academic philosophy and the effective altruism community.
