The Ethics of Our Treatment of Animals - Peter Singer

Abstract Peter Singer’s Animal Liberation, first published in 1975, triggered the modern animal rights movement, as well as launching animal ethics as a key part of the contemporary study of applied ethics. Singer will speak about why our current attitudes to, and treatment of, animals are ethically indefensible and akin to racism and sexism. He will also review changes in our attitudes to animals, and our treatment of them, over the past fifty years. Biography Peter Singer has been bestowed the tag of “world’s most influential living philosopher” by journalists. He was born in Melbourne, Australia, in 1946, and educated at the University of Melbourne and the University of Oxford. After teaching in England, the United States and Australia, he has, since 1999, been Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics in the University Center for Human Values at Princeton University. He first became well-known internationally after the publication of Animal Liberation in 1975. Some of his other well-known books are: Practical Ethics, The Expanding Circle, How Are We to Live?, Rethinking Life and Death, Pushing Time Away, The Life You Can Save, The Point of View of the Universe (co-authored with Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek), Ethics in the Real World, and Why Vegan? ---------------------------------------------------- Website: https://medicine.nus.edu.sg/cbme/ X (Formally Twitter):   / nus_cbme   LinkedIn:   / nus-cbme
