Biography

He was born in Melbourne in a family of Jews from Vienna who left Austria annexed by the Nazis in 1938. After graduation, he entered the University of Melbourne , where he studied law, history and philosophy. In 1969 he received a master's degree for a work entitled “Why should I be virtuous?” (Why Why should I be moral?). By scholarship, he continued his studies at Oxford University and in 1971 received a bachelor's degree in philosophy (English B.Phil. ) For work on civil disobedience .

Outside of academia, Singer is best known as the author of Animal Liberation ^[1] , which has become the cornerstone of the animal liberation movement . In A Darwinian Left, he advocates the view that human evolutionary psychology correlates with left-wing political attitudes. The article “Hunger, prosperity and morality” considers the problem of combating world hunger from utilitarian positions.
