Session #10 - Are we all evil? Peter Singer's thought experiment

Details

If possessing a higher degree of intelligence does not entitle one human to use another for his or her own ends, how can it entitle humans to exploit non-humans?
Peter Singer

We have a new twist on utilitarianism, with Peter Singer and his thought provoking views. Not only has he an interesting thought experiment, he is also the most convincing advocate for animal rights.

Session Outline

  1. Introductions (10 minutes)
    Quick round of introductions.
  2. The thought experiment (20 minutes)
    Please dont look it up, it's better to be surprised about this and not have a pre-fabricated opinion. If you dont know Peter Singer, the better!

What to Bring: Your best ethical self

RSVP: Please confirm your attendance on Meetup so we can secure enough space.
