Peter Singer pretty much launched the animal rights and animal welfare movements in 1975 with the publication of Animal Liberation. Forty-eight years later, he's got a revised edition coming out: Animal Liberation Now, featuring an introduction by historian and Sapiens author Yuval Noah Harari.
We talked about:
  • How philosophy can be a force for good in the world.
  • The difference between decency and ethics.
  • How to balance reason, emotion, and religion.
  • The possibility of disagreeing while remaining respectful (and even friendly).
  • How Singer began his journey of philosophical inquiry into humanity's (mis)treatment of billions of animals every year.
