I think that what we ought to be doing is what will have the best consequences for all of those affected by our actions.
What if you could make a real difference in the world with just a few ethical choices? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with Peter Singer, a renowned Australian moral philosopher, about his secular, utilitarian approach to ethics. Known for his influential works like 'Animal Liberation' and 'Famine, Affluence, and Morality', Singer dives into the importance of preventing unnecessary suffering and the ethics of giving.
He challenges us to consider the impact of our actions on others and to adopt a more empathetic and responsible stance towards global issues like poverty and illness. Singer also delves into the concept of personal identity and its fluid nature, as well as the ongoing debate around physician-assisted dying. He doesn't shy away from discussing animal rights activism and the benefits of engaging in noncompetitive physical activities.
This episode is packed with thought-provoking ideas and practical insights that might just inspire you to rethink your daily choices. Tune in to explore how small changes in your ethical perspective can lead to significant positive impacts.
