Peter Singer
"Peter Albert David Singer, AC (born 6 July 1946) is an Australian moral philosopher. He is the Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University, and a Laureate Professor at the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics at the University of Melbourne. He specialises in applied ethics and approaches ethical issues from a secular, utilitarian perspective. He is known in particular for his book Animal Liberation (1975), in which he argues in favour of vegetarianism, and his essay ""Famine, Affluence, and Morality"", in which he argues in favour of donating to help the global poor. For most of his career, he was a preference utilitarian, but he announced in The Point of View of the Universe (2014), coauthored with Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek, that he had become a hedonistic utilitarian.

Samenvatting
For the first time in history, it is within our reach to eradicate world poverty and the suffering it brings. A billion people struggle to live each day on less than many of us pay for a bottle of water. Nearly ten million children die each year from poverty-related causes. Our current response to world poverty is not only insufficient but ethically indefensible. If we are not to turn our backs on a fifth of the world's population, we must become part of the solution. This is the right time to ask yourself: What should I be doing to help?' Peter Singer's unflinching, persuasive and rigorous book is a call to action. It not only suggests what you should be doing, but also shows you how you can do it. It shows you the life you can save.
