brings it in line with other axioms that Sidgwick rejects as insignificant. Thus, I argue that the third axiom fails to meet Sidgwick’s own standards, making its utility and significance questionable. In response to this, I consider that the axiom may be analytic but

argument that affluent individuals are morally obligated to give aid is extremely demanding. He suggests that people should stop spending money on things they want. Rather, give it to those people who are dying from starvation (Singer 235).
