关于 Peter Singer
记者们给我贴上了“世界上最有影响力的在世哲学家”的标签。他们可能会想到我在对待动物的伦理方面所做的工作，经常被认为是现代动物权利运动的发起者，以及我的写作对有效利他主义的发展产生了影响。我还因在生物伦理学中对生命伦理的神圣性提出有争议的批评而闻名。
在 2021 年，我很高兴获得博古睿哲学和文化奖。引文提到了我“作为学术哲学的一部分和世界变革的力量重振功利主义的广泛影响和严谨的工作”。奖金为 100 万美元，根据我多年来一直捍卫的观点，我将捐赠给最有效的组织，这些组织致力于帮助极端贫困的人并减少工厂化农场动物的痛苦。
有效的利他主义衡量每一美元拯救的生命数量。
Several key figures in the animal movement have said that my book Animal Liberation, first published in 1975, led them to get involved in the struggle to reduce the vast amount of suffering we inflict on animals. To that end, I co-founded the 澳大利亚n Federation of Animal Societies, now Animals 澳大利亚, the country’s largest and most effective animal organization. My wife, Renata, and I stopped eating meat in 1971.
I am the founder of The Life You Can Save, an organization based on my book of the same name. It aims to spread my ideas about why we should be doing much more to improve the lives of people living in extreme poverty, and how we can best do this. In 2013, 我就此主题发表了TED演讲。
My writings in this area include: the 1972 essay “Famine, Affluence, and Morality” in which I argue for donating to help the global poor; and two books that make the case for effective giving, The Life You Can Save (2009) and The Most Good You Can Do (2015).
I have written, co-authored, edited or co-edited more than 50 books, including Practical Ethics, The Expanding Circle, Rethinking Life and Death, One World, The Ethics of What We Eat (with Jim Mason) and The Point of View of the Universe (with Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek.) My writings have appeared in more than 25 languages.

I was born in Melbourne, 澳大利亚, in 1946, and educated at the University of Melbourne and the University of Oxford. After teaching in England, the 美国, and 澳大利亚, in 1999 I became Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics in the University Center for Human Values at Princeton University. I am now only teaching at Princeton for the Fall semester. I spend part of each year doing research and writing in Melbourne, so that Renata and I can spend time with our three daughters and four grandchildren. We also enjoy hiking, and I surf.
