Extractions: Princeton Weekly Bulletin December 7, 1998 T H E P R E S I D E N T ' S P A G E Every year Princeton appoints a number of senior scholars as new members of its tenured faculty. We look to these distinguished men and women to bring new vitality and continuing leadership to our programs of teaching and research. Some of these appointments come from our own untenured ranks, and we recruit others from outside of Princeton. In every case, we insist on someone who already is or has clear potential to be one of the leading scholars in his or her field, who is an excellent and committed teacher, and who will be a valued colleague and contributing citizen of this community over an extended period of time. Most of our appointments are uncontroversial. But every once in a while we make an appointment that is greeted with a mixture of accolades and controversy, and even some protest. Appointments like these give us an opportunity to discuss fundamental issues about a university's central purposes and core values. The appointment of Professor Peter Singer, who will join our faculty next fall as the DeCamp Professor in the University Center for Human Values, is just such a case. There is no question about Professor Singer's eminence in the field of bioethics. He began his career at Oxford University, was appointed to a professorship at his home university (Monash) in Australia at the age of 30, has served as president of the International Association of Bioethics and as editor of its official journal (

Extractions: a philosophical self-portrait by Peter Singer Ira. W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics, University Center for Human Values Princeton University The Penguin Dictionary of Philosophy , London, 1997, pp. 521-522 www.PeterSingerLinks.com [Use this version to print] The ultimate practical question is: 'How are we to live?' To give a general answer to such a broad question is, however, a daunting task, and most of my writing has focused on more specific practical questions. I am probably best known for Animal Liberation , 1st edn 1975, 2nd edn 1990, a book that gave its title to a worldwide movement . The essential philosophical view it maintains is simple but revolutionary. Species is, in itself, as irrelevant to moral status as race or sex. Hence all beings with interests are entitled to equal consideration: that is, we should not give their interests any less consideration that we give to the similar interests of members of our own species. Taken seriously, this conclusion requires radical changes in almost every interaction we have with animals, including our diet, our economy, and our relations with the natural environment. To say that this idea is revolutionary is not to say that it was especially novel. Similar ideas can be found, for instance, in

Extractions: W e the undersigned protest the hiring of Dr. Peter Singer as the Ira DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at Princeton Universitys Center for Human Values. We protest his hiring because Dr. Singer denies the intrinsic moral worth of an entire class of human beings newborn children and promotes policies that would deprive many infants with disabilities of their basic human right to legal protection against homicide. In his book Practical Ethics , Dr. Singer states that no infant has as strong a claim to life as a rational, self-conscious human being. Dr. Singers criteria for distinguishing newborn infants from normal human beings (including more mature infants) thus hinge on subjectively imposed conditions such as rationality, autonomy, and self-consciousness. This lesser claim to life is also applied to those older children or adults whose mental age is and has always been that of an infant. His assertion of the appropriateness of killing some humans based on others decision concerning the quality of their lives should strike fear into everyone who cherishes equality and honors human life.

Extractions: whatever a man has in superabundance is owed, of natural right, to the poor for their sustenance. So Ambrosius says, and it is also to be found in the Decretum Gratiani : "The bread which you withhold belongs to the hungry: the clothing you shut away, to the naked: and the money you bury in the earth is the redemption and freedom of the penniless." Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, II-II, Q 66 A 7. 1. Rich and Poor If the rich are far richer than anyone in the thirteenth century could have imagined, however, the essential ingredients of poverty are the same. As in earlier times, the poor are those who do not have sufficient means to meet even the most basic of these needs, for example for food, shelter, and clothing. Today we would add that they also lack the resources to obtain even minimal health care, or to provide education for their children? There are today more than a billion of these "absolutely poor" people, living on no more than $US1 per day. These are the people who are absolutely poor - that is, poor not only relative to others with whom they may compare themselves; they by an absolute, timeless standard related to the most basic human needs.

Extractions: ...aquello que un hombre tenga en superabundancia, por derecho natural, se lo debe al pobre, para su sustento. Así dice Ambrosio y también lo podemos encontrar en el Decretum Gratiani : "El pan que retienes le pertenece al hambriento, la ropa que desechas, al desnudo, y el dinero que entierras es la redención y la libertad del desposeído" Tomas de Aquino, Summa Theologica , II-II, Q 66 A 7. 1. Ricos y pobres ¿Qué actitud deben tener los ricos hacia los pobres? ¿Si hubiese algo que estuvieran obligados a hacer, qué sería? En este artículo plantearé que nuestras actitudes corrientes establecen distinciones indefendibles y que tienen que cambiar. Para hacerlo, presentaré un argumento que ya he planteado anteriormente, en un artículo en el New York Times , y luego pasaré en consideración algunas objeciones que le han sido hechas a este argumento.

He was formerly Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Centre for Human Bioethics at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. He is the author of Animal Liberation , which can be considered the Bible of the animal rights movement. Recently, he has been instrumental in the formation of the The Great Ape Project , which seeks to extend personhood and legal rights to the Geat Apes. extracts from 'In Defence of Animals': Why do we lock up chimpanzees in appalling primate research centres and use them in experiments that range from the uncomfortable to the agonising and lethal, yet would never think of doing the same to a retarded human being at a much lower mental level? The only possible answer is that the chimpanzee, no matter how bright, is not human, while the retarded human, no matter how dull, is. This is speciesism, pure and simple, and it is as indefensible as the most blatant racism. There is no ethical basis for elevating membership of one particular species into a morally crucial characteristic. From an ethical point of view, we all stand on an equal footing whether we stand on two feet, or four, or none at all.

The Pursuit of Happiness Controversial philosopher peter singer argues for animalrights, 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.
