March 23: Ethics and Animals: Lecture by Peter Singer
Join us for a lecture by influential ethicist Peter
Singer on ethics and animals. The lecture will be followed by a free
catered reception.
Widely regarded as one of the most influential living
philosophers, Peter Singer is also known and esteemed in many other
fields for his work in medical ethics, famine relief, euthanasia, and
environmental ethics. Singer's books, including Animal Liberation
and Practical Ethics, have been translated into 15 languages
and are widely taught in ethics classes throughout the world. His work
is credited with starting the modern animal protection movement. TIME
Magazine includes Singer among its "100 most influential people"
of 2005.
