Peter Singer
50 Years of Peter Singer's Animal Liberation
Archive on 4In 2026 the philosopher Peter Singer turns 80. He’s a most unusual contemporary philosopher: his ideas reach far beyond the academy, sparking widespread public debate and changing minds. His book Animal Liberation (1975) became the best-selling philosophy book of the 20th century, and is considered the founding text of the animal liberation movement.
Singer argued that the moral status of animals depends on their capacity for suffering, rather than any abstract considerations about whether they have ‘rights’. He coined the phrase ‘speciesism’, to highlight humans’ prejudice that their suffering matters more than the suffering of other species. He argued that if anything humans do to an animal causes it to suffer, it’s morally wrong.
Singer’s views have remained remarkably consistent since the mid 1970s. But a look into the archive suggests the world of animal rights activism has gone through several changes. In 1979 File On Four reported on the rise of an anti-vivisectionist movement named for Singer’s book: the Animal liberation Front. Their main concern back then was to raise awareness of scientific experimentation on animals. By 1983, the World At One was reporting on concerns that the Front was using increasingly violent tactics, but Delia Smith was also exposing viewers to the novelty of vegetarian food. Today the importance of animal suffering is recognised in law, and vegan options appear on many menus.
Throughout this change in the animal liberation movement, Peter Singer has been on the front line of the media battle. But he's also provoked controversy, particularly with his views on euthanasia.
Philosopher Jonathan Egid explores the thought, legacy, and extensive media archive of Peter Singer.

Peter Singer is a Consequentialist Hedonic Utilitarian Ethicist.
It's his professional job to be good at ethics and teach others about ethics.
He thinks the best ethics are judged by the consequences, and that good is the best for the most people.
He has a podcast. It's probably great. He is cool. I only just heard about it.
But this is his website.
The podcast is offered on Spotify and Apple.
It has an AI chat bot that isn't even prompted well to sound like Peter for no reason at all.
It has a embed for a substack.
That embed for a substack is expired because it's run by a thing called Supascribe that is presumably some software as a service scam.
Below that is a cookie permissions banner which is asking for permission to spy on you for advertisers even though there are no actual adverts on the site.
There are links at the top and bottom to Facebook and Instagram.
There is no RSS feed embedded in the page.
I repeat: Peter Singer is actually pretty cool, and he thinks about ethics sanely.
This is the web we have built. Where a professional Consequentialist Hedonic Utilitarian Ethicist does all this.

Obgleich und weil ich mich sehr für die Bewahrung der Mitwelt engagiere, betone ich die Bedeutung der Menschenwürde.
Diese wird nach meiner Auffassung durch die ethische Gleichsetzung von Menschen mit Tieren, wie sie auch Peter Singer vertritt, leider relativiert.

#petersinger asked "Would you save a drowning child at the small cost of getting your shirt wet?"
If your answer is yes, you should sacrifice small luxuries like eating out and redirect the savings to #charity .
A tough pill to swallow. But if true, a society that views donation to non-profits as just optional and praiseworthy is evil. It led to #wealthgap , #climatechange , #enshittification and #latestagecapitalism .
Do you agree?
