Before I introduce today's guest, I just want to thank everyone who's supporting the podcast.

Thanks to you, I'm now able to

outsource the grunt work and focus on preparing for guests. If you'd like to support the

podcast, go to my website, colmanhues.org. My guest today is Peter Singer. Peter Singer is an Australian

moral philosopher. He's a professor of bioethics at Princeton University

and a laureate professor at the Center for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics

at the University of Melbourne.

He specializes in applied ethics and approaches ethical issues from a secular, utilitarian

perspective.

He's known in particular for his book Animal Liberation, in which he argues in favor of veganism,

and his essay, Famine, Affluence, and Morality, in which he argues in favor of donating to help the global poor.

We talk about whether moral obligations depend on where you happen to be

We talk about judging figures from the past and taking down statues.
