Episode Description
Of course, you believe you WOULD save a drowning child.
But that doesn’t make you a saint – in fact, depending on how you live the rest of your life, it could well make you a sinner.
For 50 years, PETER SINGER has been making uncomfortable observations like that.
Peter is perhaps the world’s most influential philosopher - he’s shaped the way we think about animals and bioethics, abortion and euthanasia.
And he's the philosophical father of the Effective Altruism movement - a quiet revolution that's transformed doing good from sentiment into science.
