Peter Singer - One World: The Ethics Of Globalisation


Peter Singer, labelled one of the most controversial philosophers of his time. Many of his works discuss human rights and animal rights intertwined in a sort of living rights. He goes to explore the term ''specieism", where grounds of discrimination are expressed within an animal group towards another animal group. It sort of makes sense to think that the human race sees violence to animals as justified, because they are only animals. He argues that they experience senses like us so they must be capable of the same feelings as people. He expresses the importance of living rights. It is interesting to think that the vegan diet has gained so much importance with the climate crisis also bringing the diet to the forefront of its importance.
