About this Event
The Cambridge Centre for Animal Rights Law is delighted to announce that the distinguished philosopher Peter Singer will be delivering this year's Annual Animal Rights Law Lecture. Peter Singer is Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University and his Lecture will be discussing the need for further progress in ethics and law regarding animals, and the prospects of achieving it.
Often described as the world’s most influential philosopher, Professor Singer became well-known internationally after the publication of his ground-breaking book Animal Liberation in 1975, which has been described as one of the most important books of the last 100 years. In 2023, he published the fully rewritten and updated Animal Liberation Now.
Professor Singer’s other books include: Practical Ethics, The Expanding Circle, How Are We to Live?, Rethinking Life and Death, Pushing Time Away, The Life You Can Save, The Point of View of the Universe (co-authored with Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek), Ethics in the Real World, and The Buddhist and the Ethicist (co-authored with Shih Chao-Hwei).
In 2005, Professor Singer was in Time Magazine’s list of 100 most influential people. In 2012, he was made a Companion of the Order of Australia, the nation’s highest civic honour. He founded the charity The Life You Can Save and is a founding co-editor of the Journal of Controversial Ideas. In 2021, he was awarded the Berggruen Prize for Philosophy and Culture, and in 2023, he shared, with Steven Pinker, the BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in Humanities and Social Sciences.
