Peter Singer: Animal Liberation, Forty Years On
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ย. 2024
- Peter Singer’s Animal Liberation, often credited with starting the modern animal rights movement, was first published in September 1975. In this lecture, the author assesses how well the argument has stood up over that period, and what progress has been made towards the changes in our treatment of animals that the book advocates.

Currently reading animal liberation. It is a tool that will enhance your logical reasoning. Strongly recommend it!
About to order it! I've already been vegan for years and vegeterian my entire life, but I'm starting to feel the urgency to help society morally progress, and in order to do that I want a strong argumentative foundation. Singer is a legend.
I also bought "eating animals: should we stop" which I highly reccomend! A very humble investigation of the cultural and psychological things keeping meat of the menu, and compelling arguemts that point out absurdities and shocking truth bombs.
@@fromeveryting29 You‘re probably already aware of one of Peter Singer’s other books (if you haven’t already read it) The Way We Eat: Why Our Food Choices Matter, but if you haven’t read it, you might also find it useful in your endeavors. It’ is another fantastic and compelling resource for like minded individuals such as yourself who are concerned with making this world a better place :) (it was the final straw that influenced me to give up meat and become vegetarian (aspiring to be vegan) after having been an avid hunter and meat eater for most of my life.
They really could not find someone to introduce Singer who actually followed his philosophy? Why is this guy talking about an ethical way of eating meat?
yeah I was like.. wtf.
so what is the ethical way i dont get it lol
Pretty tasteless, indeed. Especially the way he made a joke about it. Completely undermined the point he was making about the importance and urgency of the book.
Starts at 3:58
Thank you kind stranger! 🙏
Thanks
Vegan for Animals ❤ one of the best decision of my life.
Same! I think it's fair to say it's probably the best thing a human can do, in 2022. The positive effect on other lives is immesurable. It's so fantastically positive, and rewarding, that I can't see anything more important, because it is so easy. Such a simple change, with HUGE benefits.
@@fromeveryting29 indeed brother....Compassion costs nothing but has all the benefits. ❤
There is no ethical way to cause immense suffering to animals you don't need to exploit and kill, bro... what the? ? ?
The moderator man doesn’t believe in what he’s introducing…. What a joke!…. Worst introduction ever! It’s actually disrespectful to laugh at eating animals in a room that supposed to talk about animal liberation!
I wish this awesome writer/speaker would have a better introduction. Peter singer is amazing.
Great lecture, eye-opening
Four legs good, two legs bad-George Orwell.
kangooroo burger tho
Awesome. Another great video which briefly summarizes the philosophy of animal rights of the one by crash course philosophy, part 42. I also like watching videos by Earthling Ed's speeches or Cosmic Skeptic speeches. Gary Yourofsky also makes great speeches I recommend checking out. I'm vegan and think everyone who can should be vegan. For more information on this deeply important topic I recommend checking out the channels I mentioned earlier, as well as watching documentaries like "dominion", "the game changers", "what the health", and "cowspiracy".
I also recommend Joey carbstrong on youtube. He also advocates for animals and I have high respect for him.
Earthling Ed is terrific--Too bad about Cosmic Skeptic--didn't see that happening. 2 of my favorite are Philip Wollen's speech on animal rights and MP Emma Hurst's first speech at Parliament.
Thanks for posting! Great use of hour and a half
Legend.
Many thanks 🙏☀️
Sehr interessanter Vortrag
I believe in God but that doesn't mean i have to disagree with him in regards to animals moral value. There are religions that support his claims like Hinduism ( Vaishnavas particularly), Budhism and Taoism.
@G G Go see what the Hare Krishna do.
True. There is a great book about what different religions in different times have thought about the relationship between humans and animals. Veganism is compatible with all religions, because at it's core it emphazises humans striving for non-violence, responsibility, rationality and mercy. I'm not religious myself, but I see many pro-vegan sentiments in all religions. They are just tainted with culture..
Anyone who thinks that they can just torture animals and it's okay with God is wrong. When God gave us Dominion he meant we are supposed to be the caregivers. In the Old Testament the only reason why animals were sacrificed was because of man's sin. If man would stop sinning animals wouldn't have to die. A lot of people who call themselves Christians don't seem to be using discernment these days. So my only thought is they must be wolves in sheep's clothing.
How can sacrificing an animal can liberate a human from his sin? Killing an animal has nothing to do with an innocent being!
I started to read Bible and this is the part I struggle to fully embrace Jesus and God.
I want to give my life to God who loves animals and doesn't want to see them suffer!
Vivisection is wrong! The Catholic church continued to promote this horrific act!!!!
"uhm, so uhm ehm, ehh, umm" Come on for fuck's sake.
Regardless, of these so called video's and studies, I will continue to eat meat, eggs, cheese and drink milk and not eat plants.
You will not eat plants? Well then I'm afraid you will get very sick from a lack of fibre and vitamin C.
Haven't seen you on Ed's Ted Talk lately. What's the matter?
Oh shut up
That's fine. You won't last long eating no plants. Better for everyone all around I think. 🤷
How do you ethically kill someone who does not want to die? Please enlighten us, Mr moderator man!
EXACTLY
Well he clearly uses consistency in his reason. For example if an animal isn't treated horribly then it's ok to kill them. So if the moderator is walking one day and you decide to shoot him in the head to make a burger it's ok because he wasn't treated horribly and didn't even see it coming. It's the pain before the killing that really matters.
@@gallectee6032 If a human were to have a good life, would that give me the right to kill them and eat their corpse? They weren't treated horribly after all.
@@NoPityForThePlatsch "So if he's walking one day" refers to the moderator.
@@NoPityForThePlatsch Exactly. With this faulty line of reasoning, people should be most justified in eating their pets because some of them have arguably lived better lives than any other animal! I wonder if mister moderator eats his pets? 🤔
That introductory speaker would've done a better job if he'd limited his remarks to only jestures and grunting.
worst introduction ever, he prolly eat corpse
When the guy introducing Peter said "I'm no longer a vegetarian..." I was waiting for the moment where he says "I'm now a vegan" - That moment never came! 🤬🤬
He’s a disrespect to Mr singer …. He’s laughing at animals being killed in a room supposed to talk about animal libration
good
I agree 🤬
Same
The man introducing Peter I agree is totally clueless. I was waiting for him to say he now is vegan but he didn't which is a slap in the face to peter. That man should not even be at that conference because he is exactly the opposite of what Peter stands for.
Vegan 5 years now! We can do this people
There are no valid arguments for unnecessarily eating animals (and it can be handled so it's never necessary for anyone)
Professor Singer sounds like a genius compared to those answering questions and/or making comments.
Seriously. The kid who essentially asked why we should care about suffering…smh
Definitely going to read this book
what ethical way to eat meat?
Thanks putting subtitle on questions.
Cow by Andrea Arnold brought me here
Why is Animal Liberation not available in English on Audible?
Because it's a failure! 😉
Feeling Empty?
What does it take to be a Christian?
Faith in Christ
Matthew 3:36
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
John 3:16-17
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
The Gospel
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Romans 10:13
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Faith Alone in the Death, Burial and Resurrection of Jesus Christ (God) to Forgive your Sins through His blood. By believing in this you have become a new creation in Christ, and have a promise you’ll be with the Lord in your death, but also have the Holy Spirit living in you forever as a guide for you. If you believe, from that moment on to eternity you are saved (No matter how much you struggle with sin after).
Romans 3:23-25
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
Romans 3:10-12
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Hell or Heaven?
Matthew 10:28
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Matthew 23:13
Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
HELL IS A REAL LOCATION
ALL NON CHRISTIANS WILL BE THERE AND ARE THERE
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Heaven or Hell?
A PRAYER FOR SALVATION THROUGH FAITH
“I know that I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I believe that Christ died for my sins and rose three days later from the grave. Thank you for forgiving my sin on the cross. You alone Jesus is now why I have forgiveness and eternal life. Thank you in Jesus name. Amen.”
If you have prayed this with faith you are Forgiven and now in the Body of Christ.
Welcome brother or sister. Remember saying a prayer does not save you, having Faith does in Jesus and what He did for you.
I encourage you to find a Godly Bible believing church as well
God Bless
1:12 I’m a living philosopher who can make the change of I was given one chance to speak in public. I won’t write a book.. I am not interested in praises. I’m only interested in changing the world for the better for all on the planet. Peter Singer is wonderful don’t get me wrong. Just not the “only” one who can live up to it. God bless him for what he’s done. I have something that will offer the next level. Could we talk for 5 minutes? It would change your lives.
