Peter Singer Series
July 6, 1946
Peter Singer is a profoundly influential philosopher known for his rigorous examination of ethical dilemmas concerning animal rights, bioethics, and the obligations of the affluent to the global poor. While often credited with pioneering the modern animal rights movement, his philosophical framework emphasizes utilitarian principles rather than rights-based arguments. His extensive writings, translated across numerous languages, challenge readers to consider how we ought to live and how to minimize suffering in the world. Singer's work consistently prompts critical reflection on our moral responsibilities in a complex global society.
