    Extractions: arrogant observer and defender of freedom. Who is Peter Singer and why should you care about him? Simple, Peter Singer, maybe the most dangerous man in the world today. Singer, could be the most dangerous man in the world, because he is the stupid and misguided fool leading a vicious and mindless assault on human rights and the idea of freedom itself. The vast majority of you, don't know who Singer is and there is no reason you should know. Singer is a philosopher, a professor at a university in Melbourne Australia who is currently a visiting lecturer at Princeton. He also wrote the article on ethics in the current Encyclopedia Britannica. Singer, judging by his writings, is also a complete idiot, but a large portion of the world's intellectuals are hailing him as a genius and an expert on ethics and philosophy. Therein lies the danger, Singer is promoting a set of ideas that if applied to the real world will lead to complete and total disaster.

    Extractions: Peter Singer and Eugenics One small step at a time By Deborah Danielski The word "eugenics" comes from a Greek root meaning "well-born" and was coined in 1883 by Charles Galton. Enthralled with his cousin Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, Galton sought to improve on "natural selection" by encouraging people to breed selectively in order to increase the proportion of "healthy, smart, capable and sane" members of the human race. The most notable historic promoter of this ideology, of course, was Adolph Hitler, who began his "ethnic cleansing" by outlawing marriages between the "superior" Aryan and the non-Aryan races. When those methods seemed inadequate to accomplish the task in a timely manner, and he had gained sufficient support for his ideology, Hitler proceeded to exterminate the "undesirables." "Whatever proportions [Nazi] crimes finally assumed, it became evident to all who investigated them that they started from small beginnings," observed American psychiatrist Leo Alexander during the Nuremberg Doctors’ Trial in 1947. "The beginnings at first were merely a subtle shift in emphasis in the basic attitude of physicians. It started with the acceptance of the attitude, basic in the euthanasia movement, that there is such a thing as life not worthy to be lived."

    Article from Issue 73 of New Doctor Journal of the Doctors Reform Society of Australia, an organization supporting universal access to health care  
    http://www.drs.org.au/new_doctor/73/Singer.html
    
    Extractions: Dr Andrew Gunn is a Brisbane general practitioner currently completing an MAPhil at the University of Queensland. Introduction Australian ethicist Peter Singer must have a thick skin. His recent departure from Melbourne was marked in The Age by an article titled “Good riddance to a warped philosopher”1. His appointment as professor of philosophy at Princeton University in the United States led to demonstrations and death threats. Singer (a.k.a. Professor Death2) attracts a variety of opinions. Commentary ranges from “the most dangerous man in the world”3 to “the greatest living philosopher”4 - although these two opinions are not necessarily contradictory. He is widely condemned as a “Nazi”, a distressing (but not unique) fate for a man of German/Austrian Jewish stock who lost several close relatives in the Holocaust5. This article discusses a few myths surrounding Singer’s philosophy. The philosophical differences creating divergent opinions on Singer also have important repercussions on health care. Ethics, not science, underlies many health care controversies. Peter Singer Singer has published profusely over several decades – a couple of dozen books, hundreds of articles and thousands of interviews and lectures. Nonetheless, public criticism of Singer’s work – and there is plenty of it - often focuses on the same two or three sentences plucked from the millions available. Indeed, outside philosophical forums it appears quite normal to damn Singer’s work having only read about it, rather than having read it. “I can’t recall or find the book in which he [Singer] wrote these views” wrote one medical critic recently, before using a misquote to discuss Singer6.

    Extractions: profile the dangerous philosopher Peter Singer's belief that animals should be treated like people gave birth to the animal-rights movement. Does he also think that people should be treated like animals? september 6, 1999 Wall Street Journal compared him to Hitler's ideological henchman Martin Bormann. The attack was nothing new. Singer has been prevented from speaking at conferences in Germany, in Austria, and even in Switzerland, where he was once assaulted by people who saw in his philosophy an echo of the Nazi view that some lives are worth living and others are not. "When I rose to speak, a section of the audience...began to chant, `Singer raus ! Singer raus! '" he wrote in 1991. "As I heard this chanted, in German...I had an overwhelming feeling that this was what it must have been like to attempt to reason against the rising tide of Nazism in the declining days of the Weimar Republic. The difference was that the chant would have been not `Singer raus! ' but ` Juden raus!

69. Peter Singer On Speciesism And Animal Liberation And Animal Rights

    http://www.webster.edu/~corbetre/philosophy/animals/singer.html
    
    Extractions: August 1999 As we begin our exploration of our relationship with animals, we come face to face with Peter Singer and his insistence that speciesism is a vice. It is important to come to know what he means by speciesism, why he regards it as a moral mistake. In order to try to clarify this I will do four things here: Talk about the general range of prejudices such as racism, sexism, nationalism and others. Then I will try to clarify Singer's views and how he extends the categories to include species. I also want to point out that Singer's view, while tremendously important in its philosophical and practical import, is not something really new to most of us. His uncompromising SENSE of it is. Lastly I will comment upon and hopefully clarify Singer's notion that the notion of equality has to do with "equality of consideration" and not of "treatment." Further, I want to deal with his notion that this "equality" is not a claim of fact, but a moral prescription. The point here is that many of us have some intuitions toward the interests of animals. They may not be dominant, and they might not be sentiments of equality, and they many not compete well with contrary interests toward humans. At the same time, we still often have some positive sentiments and intuitions toward the interests of animals. The notion that Singer will develop in ways that may well be strange and new to us, are not 100% novel. If we have a hard time grasping his view, perhaps returning to some of those personal sentiments or intuitions might be a good place to go.

    http://www.jlaw.com/Commentary/blesspeter.html
    
    Extractions: Singer, of course, is the Princeton philosopher who has become well-known for his advocacy of euthanasia for severely handicapped infants and elderly and, most recently, for endorsing the idea of meaningful human intimate relations with animals - what Slate writer William Saletan deems "the love that dare not bark its name." Professor Singer, who heads the university's improbably named Center for Human Values, made his case in a recent essay where he suggests that there is no inherent difference between humans and animals, and characterizes the latter as essentially the moral equivalent of human infants. The logical extension of that worldview, he then proposes, is the acceptance of cross-species intimate congress as entirely legitimate. The professor deserves our blessing - well, at least our gratitude - for showing, clearly, cogently and conclusively, the sort of interesting places to which societal rejection of the concept of "morality" must inexorably lead. He has done an immeasurable service by providing limitlessly "tolerant" minds everywhere gaping grounds for pause. Recent decades have not been kind to the bedrock-concept of morality - the idea that human beings are inherently special, that we carry a spark of holiness within. It has been unceremoniously dumped out the window - like some handicapped baby in a Singerian world - with the bathwater of intolerance. To imagine, though, that when our nation's founding fathers envisioned a republic independent of any church they meant to reject the concept of morality is to flirt with delirium.

The lawsuit , aided by the non-profit Center for Constitutional Rights based in Washington, claims not just that the civilians were killed by Blackwater employees, but that the company was responsible as it "created and fostered a

Discrimination on the basis of sex, it has been said, is the last form of discrimination that is universally accepted and practiced without pretense, even in those liberal circles which have long prided themselves on their freedom from racial discrimination. But one should always be wary of talking of "the last remaining form of discrimination." That essay and the book that grew out of it, also published by

    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.

    Extractions: Philosophers: Peter Singer (b.1946 CE) On-line introductions On-line texts Singer's parents were Viennese Jews who escaped the Anschluss to Australia in 1938. His father became a successful importer of coffee and tea, his mother practised medicine. Singer was born in 1946 in Melbourne, and went to Melbourne University, where he studied law, history, and philosophy, graduating in 1967. Having received an M.A. in 1969 (with a thesis on "Why should I be moral?"), he went on a scholarship to University College, Oxford to do the B.Phil., which he took in 1971. He was Radcliffe Lecturer at University College from 1971 to 1973, during which time he worked on a thesis under R.M. Hare on civil disobedience (published as his first book, Democracy and Disobedience, in 1973). From Oxford he went to teach at New York University for sixteen months, during which time he researched and wrote his second book, Animal Liberation (1975). He then returned to Melbourne where, apart from numerous visiting appointments around the world, he's stayed . first as Senior Lecturer at La Trobe University, then from 1977 as professor of philosophy at Monash University. Since 1999 he's also been Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at the University Centre for Human Values, Princeton University. Not only are Singer's philosophical interests confined largely to the fields of ethics and politics, but even within those fields he's almost solely interested in practical problems such as abortion, euthanasia, and our treatment of animals. Despite this (or, perhaps, because of it), he's one of the best-known of modern philosophers, and certainly the most controversial. His greatest influence has been in the field of animal ethics.
