"The world's most influential living philosopher." The New Yorker

Peter Singer is the most prominent figure in contemporary ethics. He has made groundbreaking contributions to animal welfare, bioethics, effective altruism and practical ethics more broadly.

He is a founder of both Animals Australia and The Life You Can Save, and has been a key figure in the Effective Altruism movement - an initiative that uses evidence and careful analysis to find the very best way for individuals to do good. Singer has received multiple accolades for his work, including a nomination as one of Australia's ten most influential public intellectuals and the $1 million Berggruen Prize in 2021.

Singer appeared at the most recent HowTheLightGetsIn London 2024 via zoom, where he debated his theory of ethics in the debate 'A Rule To Live By'  soon to be released on IAI.tv.
