    The Pursuit of Happiness Controversial philosopher peter singer argues for animal rights, utilitarian ethics, and A Darwinian Left. Interviewed by Ronald Bailey.  
    http://reason.com/0012/rb.the.html
    
    Extractions: Controversial philosopher Peter Singer argues for animal rights, utilitarian ethics, and A Darwinian Left Interviewed by Ronald Bailey The New Yorker calls him "the most influential living philosopher." His critics call him "the most dangerous man in the world." Peter Singer, the De Camp Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University's Center for Human Values, is most widely and controversially known for his view that animals have the same moral status as humans. He is the author of many books, including Practical Ethics Rethinking Life and Death (1995), and Animal Liberation (1975), which has sold more than 450,000 copies. This year he published Writings on an Ethical Life (Ecco Press) and A Darwinian Left: Politics, Evolution, and Cooperation (Yale University Press), which argues that the left must replace Marx with Darwin if it is to remain a viable force. Singer is perhaps the most thoroughgoing philosophical utilitarian since Jeremy Bentham. As such, he believes animals have rights because the relevant moral consideration is not whether a being can reason or talk but whether it can suffer. Jettisoning the traditional distinction between humans and nonhumans, Singer distinguishes instead between persons and non-persons. Persons are beings that feel, reason, have self-awareness, and look forward to a future. Thus, fetuses and some very impaired human beings are not persons in his view and have a lesser moral status than, say, adult gorillas and chimpanzees.

    http://cogweb.ucla.edu/Debate/SingerPM.html
    
    Extractions: Age of Evolutionary Psychology Francis Steen, 7 March 2000 Peter Singer is a prominent philosopher/bio-ethicist whose recent appointment to a chair in bio-ethics at Princeton University's Center for Human Values was covered on the front page of the New York Times ; see Princeton Appointment Creates an Uproar (local copy). In the following interview, he takes on the vital task of negotiating the role of evolutionary psychology in ethics and politics. This topic is followed up in a forthcoming book, A Darwinian Left: Politics, Evolution and Cooperation (New Haven: Yale UP, 2000), where Singer argues that once we separate "ought" from "is," Darwinism will be freed of its ideological baggage. By "is" he means the way things are, from the perspective of evolutionary psychology. By "ought" he means the decisions we make based on those accounts. He points out, for example, that "To say that human beings have a tendency to form hierarchies is not to say that it is right for our society to remain hierarchal; but it is to issue a warning that we should not expect to abolish hierarchy by eliminating the particular hierarchy we have in our society." Singer uses game theory to make his point. In the well-known Prisoner's Dilemma, you and another prisoner are being held incommunicado from each other and the world. Your interrogator gives you a set of options. If you inform on the other person and he stays silent, you go free while he is stuck with the sucker's payoff of a twenty-year term. Or vice versa if you don't talk and he does. If you both talk, you each get ten years. If neither of you squeals, the case against both is weak; after a term of six months each, you'll both go free.

    Article from Ted Honderich (ed.), 'The Oxford Companion to Philosophy' (Oxford, 1995).

    Extractions: ABORTION by PETER SINGER Ira. W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics, University Center for Human Values Princeton University In Ted Honderich (ed.), The Oxford Companion to Philosophy , Oxford, 1995 www.PeterSingerLinks.com THE OXFORD COMPANION TO PHILOSOPHY edited by Ted Honderich other books Those who defend women's rights to abortion often refer to themselves as 'pro-choice' rather than as 'pro-abortion'. In this way they seek to bypass the issue of the moral status of the foetus, and instead make the right to abortion a question of individual liberty. But it cannot simply be assumed that a woman's right to have an abortion is a question of individual liberty, for it must first be established that the aborted foetus is not a being worthy of protection. If the foetus is worthy of protection, then laws against abortion do not create 'victimless crimes' as laws against homosexual relations between consenting adults do. So the question of the moral status of the foetus cannot be avoided. The central argument against abortion may be put like this: It is wrong to kill an innocent human being.

98. The Disingenuous Ethics - The Radical Capitalist
    Analysis of peter singer's famous railroad track hypothetical.  
    http://www.prometh.com/Radcap/Inserts/ins0012.asp
    
    Extractions: You are no doubt familiar with the adage, "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime." This adage implies that the hungry man's benefactor a ) is interested in seeing that the hungry man can care for himself, and b ) knows how to fish. The odds, then, are against the hungry man's ever learning to feed himself, for the altruist ethic that dominates East and West considers cognitive effort a presumption and condemns self-sufficiency for the self It is thus the ethic of that human subspecies which does not think, yet refuses to surrender its moral and social pretensions: it is the ethic of the dilettante. As if to illustrate this fact, the February 20 edition of the CBS news magazine "60 Minutes II" featured an interview with "bioethicist" Peter Singer of Princeton University. According to the program, Singer has made something of a splash among the dilettantes for concocting a new version of an old practical joke. It consists of a thought experiment, in which Singer asks you to imagine that you have spent most of your retirement money on an expensive automobile. You have just parked it astride a working railroad track and gotten out to stretch, when your tranquility is interrupted by a locomotive headed down the track and at your car. You can easily divert the locomotive by throwing a switch and sending it down another track, but that other track has a child from Bangladesh standing on it. The crisis is honed: do you save your car or a child's life?

    Extractions: From the issue dated March 10, 2000 The world's most reviled philosopher just wants more happiness for everyone By JEFF SHARLET Peter Singer's troubles began when he was finally allowed to speak in Germany. It was 1989. The Australian philosopher had gone to lecture in the country that ALSO SEE: Colloquy: Join a debate on issues raised in this article his parents had fled five decades before, and that had sent three of his grandparents to their deaths in concentration camps. His topic was euthanasia. He is in favor of it. Not just for the terminally ill, but also, in some cases, for the very young. In a book called Practical Ethics (Cambridge University Press, 1979), he'd written: "killing a disabled infant is not morally equivalent to killing a person. Very often it is not wrong at all." Those sentences have trailed him ever since, "exposed" on editorial pages like an old rap sheet resurfacing. They do not mean what they seem to mean here, shorn of the logical reasoning with which they're surrounded in the book, the qualifiers and the disputes over definitions that make philosophy philosophy. But standing alone they are terrifying. Many Germans who encountered them quoted like that before Mr. Singer's arrival heard echoes of the past. In 1939, Hitler had instructed the doctors of the Third Reich to pursue a policy of putting incurable patients to death. He termed it "mercy killing." Was that what Mr. Singer considered "philosophy"?

100. The Right To Be Rich Or Poor, By Peter Singer
     Review of Robert Nozick, 'Anarchy, State, and Utopia' (New York, 1974).  
     http://www.petersingerlinks.com/rich.htm
     
     Extractions: The Right to Be Rich or Poor by PETER SINGER Ira. W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics, University Center for Human Values, Princeton University The New York Review of Books , March 6, 1975 www.PeterSingerLinks.com When times are hard and governments are looking for ways to reduce expenditure, a book like Anarchy, State, and Utopia is about the last thing we need. That will be the reaction of some readers to this book. It is, of course, an unfair reaction, since a work of philosophy that consists of rigorous argument and needle-sharp analysis with absolutely none of the unsupported vague waffle that characterizes too many philosophy books must be welcomed whatever we think of its conclusions. The chances of Gerald Ford reasoning his way through Nozick's book to the conviction that he ought to cut back the activities of the state in fields like welfare, education, and health are not high. The book will probably do more good in raising the level of philosophical discussion than it will do harm in practical politics. Robert Nozick's book is a major event in contemporary political philosophy. There has, in recent years, been no sustained and competently argued challenge to the prevailing conceptions of social justice and the role of the state. Political philosophers have tended to assume without argument that justice demands an extensive redistribution of wealth in the direction of equality; and that it is a legitimate function of the state to bring about this redistribution by coercive means like progressive taxation. These assumptions may be correct; but after
