Share The Wealth - The Daily Princetonian
Article in The Daily Princetonian (January 12, 2001).
http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/archives/2001/01/12/opinion/2115.shtml

Extractions: Guest Columnist Published: Friday, January 12th, 2001 Since coming to Princeton, I have been impressed by two things: how rich the University is, and how seriously ethics is taken here. The wealth is evident to anyone who walks around the campus or uses the library. In comments marking President Shapiro's planned retirement from the presidency, it has been said that one of his achievements was to build the University's endowment from $2 billion to $8 billion. At a dinner a few months ago, a senior Princeton administrator told me proudly that, on a per-student basis, Princeton is now the richest university in the world. President Shapiro has also been active in building the University's commitment to ethics. Our motto has been broadened, encouraging us to see our role not only as service to the nation, but as service to all nations. Undergraduates are required to take a subject that in some way involves ethics, and there are many such courses, in a wide variety of departments. President Shapiro has indicated, in speeches and interviews, that he sees attending Princeton as a privilege that gives rise to a special ethical responsibility to use what one has learned for ethical purposes. Not everything that students learn at Princeton is taught in the classrooms. Some of it is learned by observation. If Princeton students see people working at Princeton being paid the lowest possible wage, and given few or no benefits, they will learn that, even in situations of great abundance, there is one rule for the fortunate and privileged members of the community, and another for those at the bottom of the pile. Hence, there are sound educational reasons why Princeton should spend just a little more of its staggering wealth on its lowest-paid workers. This would be an excellent use of money given to Princeton with the intention of improving the education of its undergraduates.

The Triviality Of The Debate Over 'Is-Ought' And The Definition Of 'Moral', By P
Article in American Philosophical Quarterly , X, 1 (January 1973).
http://www.utilitarian.net/singer/by/197301--.htm

Extractions: The Triviality of the Debate Over 'Is-Ought' and the Definition of 'Moral' Peter Singer American Philosophical Quarterly , X, 1, January 1973 "THE central problem in moral philosophy is commonly known as the is-ought problem." So runs the opening sentence of the introduction to a recent volume of readings on this issue. [ I shall begin by considering two possible views on the meaning of the moral "ought," and its relation to matters of fact. These two positions are at opposite ends of the spectrum of positions which can be taken on this issue. R. M. Hare because it contains the singular term "my." According to the neutralist, however, this does not preclude it from being held as a moral principle. Of course, there must be some way in which even the neutralist distinguishes a man's moral principles from other principles which he may hold. For the neutralist, a man's moral principles are the principles, whatever they may be, which that man takes to be overriding. This is made true by definition. In support of the definition, thy neutralist can refer to usages like "They gave up everything for Art; Art was their morality" or: "His morality was just egoism, for he cared about nothing but himself." The neutralist view, then, is that whether a principle is a moral principle for a particular person is determined solely by whether that person allows the principle to override any other principles which he may hold. Any principle at all is capable of being a moral principle for a person, if that person should take it as overriding. [
The Biological Basis Of Ethics, By Peter Singer
Chapter excerpted from The Expanding Circle Ethics and Sociobiology (Oxford, 1981).
http://www.utilitarian.net/singer/by/1981----.htm

Extractions: The Biological Basis of Ethics Peter Singer Excerpted from The Expanding Circle: Ethics and Sociobiology , New York, 1981, pp. 23-53 We should all agree that each of us is bound to show kindness to his parents and spouse and children, and to other kinsmen in a less degree; and to those who have rendered services to him, and any others whom he may have admitted to his intimacy and called friends; and to neighbours and to fellow-countrymen more than others; and perhaps we may say to those of our own race more than to black or yellow men, and generally to human beings in proportion to their affinity to ourselves. HENRY SIDGWICK, The Methods of Ethics Every human society has some code of behavior for its members. This is true of nomads and city-dwellers, of hunter-gatherers and of industrial civilizations, of Eskimos in Greenland and Bushmen in Africa, of a tribe of twenty Australian aborigines and of the billion people that make up China. Ethics is part of the natural human condition. That ethics is natural to human beings has been denied. More than three hundred years ago Thomas Hobbes wrote in his Leviathan: During the time men live without a common Power to keep them all in awe they are in that condition called War; and such a war, as is of every man against every other man.... To this war of every man against every man, this also is consequent; that nothing can be Unjust. The notions of Right and Wrong, Justice and Injustice have there no place.

Ethics And The New Animal Liberation Movement, By Peter Singer
Excerpted from In Defense of Animals (New York, 1985).
http://animal-rights-library.com/texts-m/singer01.htm

Extractions: New York: Basil Blackwell, 1985, pp. 1-10 Acrobat version This book [ In Defense of Animals Although there were one or two nineteenth-century thinkers who asserted that animals have rights, the serious political movement for animal liberation is very young, a product of the 1970s. Its aims are quite distinct from the efforts of the more traditional organizations, like the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, to stop people from treating animals cruelly. Even these traditional concerns, however, are relatively recent when seen in the context of 3,000 years of Western civilization, as a brief glance at the historical background to the contemporary animal liberation movement will show. Concern for animal suffering can be found in Hindu thought, and the Buddhist idea of compassion is a universal one, extending to animals as well as humans, but our Western traditions are very different. Our intellectual roots lie in Ancient Greece and in the Judeo-Christian tradition. Neither is kind to those not of our species. In the conflict between rival schools of thought in Ancient Greece, it was the school of Aristotle that eventually became dominant. Aristotle held the view that nature is a hierarchy in which those with less reasoning ability exist for the sake of those with more reasoning ability. Thus plants, he said, exist for the sake of animals, and animals for the sake of man, to provide him with food and clothing. Indeed, Aristotle took his logic a step further- the barbarian tribes, which he considered obviously less rational than the Greeks, existed in order to serve as slaves to the more rational Greeks. He did not quite have the nerve to add that philosophers, being supremely rational, should be served by everyone else!

Conditioned Ethical Blindness, By Peter Singer & Lori Gruen
Excerpted from Lori Gruen and Peter Singer, Animal Liberation A Graphic Guide (London, 1987).
http://www.utilitarian.net/singer/by/1987----.htm

Extractions: Conditioned Ethical Blindness Peter Singer Excerpted from Animal Liberation: a Graphic Guide , London, 1987, pp. 78-80 How can otherwise decent citizens do these things? How can they become so insensitive to what they are doing? Don Barnes, who spent sixteen years as a biomedical scientist experimenting on animals, and now heads the Washington, DC office of the National Anti-Vivisection Society, calls the state in which he used to do his work 'conditioned ethical blindness'. From his early years growing up on the farm, and continuing into his time as a Ph. D. student, Barnes accepted the idea that non-human animals exist to serve human purposes. As a student of psychology, he was also taught a whole new vocabulary which served to distance the experimenter from the animal. The monkeys on which he worked became 'research subjects'; the electric shocks he gave them were called 'negative reinforcement' and their vain efforts to escape were classified as 'avoidance behaviour'. As Barnes says: 'During my sixteen years in the laboratory the morality and ethics of using laboratory animals were never broached in either formal or informal meetings prior to my raising the issues during the waning days of my tenure as a vivisector'. Don Barnes is not the only one to have escaped his conditioning. In 1977 the magazine

Proving The Obvious, By Peter Singer & Lori Gruen
Excerpted from Lori Gruen and Peter Singer, Animal Liberation A Graphic Guide (London, 1987).
http://www.utilitarian.net/singer/by/1987----02.htm

Extractions: Proving the Obvious Peter Singer Excerpted from Animal Liberation: a Graphic Guide , London, 1987, pp. 80-81 When presented with examples of mindless animal experiments, scientists usually claim that we, as lay-people, do not understand the importance of their work. But the fact is that, like Ulrich's, many animal experiments are performed merely to prove the obvious. Nowhere is this more true that in experimental psychology. Among the best-known psychology experiments are those of H. F. Harlow, who in the late 1950s began a series of maternal deprivation experiments at the University of Wisconsin Primate Research Centre. The first experiments involved the separation of a baby monkey from her mother in order to study 'the nature of love'. Harlow devised fake 'monkey mothers', one made of cloth and one made of wire. Not surprisingly, all infants showed a preference for the more comfortable, cloth-covered 'mother'. Harlow concluded that comfort has a role in the formation of bonds between infants and their mothers. Harlow and his colleagues the proceeded to modify the surrogate mothers in order to produce bizarre behaviour in infant monkeys: [F]our surrogate monster mothers were created. One was a shaking mother which rocked so violently that the teeth and bones of the infant chattered in unison. The second was an air-blast mother which blew compressed air against the infant's face and body with such violence that the infant looked as if it would be denuded. The third had an embedded steel frame which, on schedule or demand, would fling forward knock the infant monkey off the mother's body. The fourth monster mother, on schedule or demand, ejected brass spikes from her ventral surface, an abominable form of maternal tenderness...

All Animals Are Equal, By Peter Singer
Article from Tom Regan and Peter Singer (eds.) Animal Rights and Human Obligations (New Jersey, 1989).
http://www.animal-rights-library.com/texts-m/singer02.htm

Extractions: All Animals Are Equal by Peter Singer Animal Rights and Human Obligations , New Jersey, 1989, pp. 148-162 Acrobat version One should always be wary of talking of "the last remaining form of discrimination." If we have learnt anything from the liberation movements, we should have learnt how difficult it is to be aware of latent prejudice in our attitudes to particular groups until this prejudice is forcefully pointed out. All this may sound a little far-fetched, more like a parody of other liberation movements than a serious objective. In fact, in the past the idea of "The Rights of Animals" really has been used to parody the case for women's rights. When Mary Wollstonecraft, a forerunner of later feminists, published her Vindication of the Rights of Women in 1792, her ideas were widely regarded as absurd, and they were satirized in an anonymous publication entitled A Vindication of the Rights of Brutes . The author of this satire (actually Thomas Taylor, a distinguished Cambridge philosopher) tried to refute Wollstonecraft's reasonings by showing that they could be carried one stage further. If sound when applied to women, why should the arguments not be applied to dogs, cats, and horses? They seemed to hold equally well for these "brutes"; yet to hold that brutes had rights was manifestly absurd; therefore the reasoning by which this conclusion had been reached must be unsound, and if unsound when applied to brutes, it must also be unsound when applied to women, since the very same arguments had been used in each case.
Do Animals Feel Pain?, By Peter Singer
Chapter excerpted from Animal Liberation (2nd ed, New York, 1990).
http://www.animal-rights-library.com/texts-m/singer03.htm

Extractions: Do Animals Feel Pain? by Peter Singer Excerpted from Animal Liberation , 2nd edition, New York: Avon Books, 1990, pp. 10-12, 14-15 Acrobat version If it is justifiable to assume that other human beings feel pain as we do, is there any reason why a similar inference should not be justifiable in the case of other animals? The overwhelming majority of scientists who have addressed themselves to this question agree. Lord Brain, one of the most eminent neurologists of our time, has said: I personally can see no reason for conceding mind to my fellow men and denying it to animals. [�] I at least cannot doubt that the interests and activities of animals are correlated with awareness and feeling in the same way as my own, and which may be, for aught I know, just as vivid. The author of a book on pain writes: That may well be thought enough to settle the matter; but one more objection needs to be considered. [�] [T]here is a hazy line of philosophical thought, deriving perhaps from some doctrines associated with the influential philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, Which maintains that we cannot meaningfully attribute states of consciousness to beings without language. This position seems to me very implausible. Language may be necessary for abstract thought, at some level anyway; but states like pain are more primitive, and have nothing to do with language. [�]

Taking Life: Humans, By Peter Singer
Chapter excerpted from Practical Ethics (2nd edition, Cambridge, 1993).
http://www.utilitarian.net/singer/by/1993----.htm

Extractions: Taking Life: Humans Peter Singer Excerpted from Practical Ethics , 2nd edition, Cambridge, 1993, pp. 175-217 In dealing with an objection to the view of abortion presented in Chapter 6, we have already looked beyond abortion to infanticide. In so doing we will have confirmed the suspicion of supporters of the sanctity of human life that once abortion is accepted, euthanasia lurks around the next comer - and for them, euthanasia is an unequivocal evil. It has, they point out, been rejected by doctors since the fifth century B.C., when physicians first took the Oath of Hippocrates and swore 'to give no deadly medicine to anyone if asked, nor suggest any such counsel'. Moreover, they argue, the Nazi extermination programme is a recent and terrible example of what can happen once we give the state the power to MI innocent human beings. I do not deny that if one accepts abortion on the grounds provided in Chapter 6, the case for killing other human beings, in certain circumstances, is strong. As I shall try to show in this chapter, however, this is not something to be regarded with horror, and the use of the Nazi analogy is utterly misleading. On the contrary, once we abandon those doctrines about the sanctity of human life that - as we saw in Chapter 4 - collapse as soon as they are questioned, it is the refusal to accept killing that, in some cases, is horrific. 'Euthanasia' means, according to the dictionary, 'a gentle and easy death', but it is now used to refer to the killing of those who are incurably ill and in great pain or distress, for the sake of those killed, and in order to spare them further suffering or distress. This is the main topic of this chapter. I shall also consider, however, some cases in which, though killing is not contrary to the wishes of the human who is killed, it is also not carried out specifically for the sake of that being. As we shall see, some cases involving newborn infants fall into this category. Such cases may not be 'euthanasia' within the strict meaning of the term, but they can usefully be included within the same general discussion, as long as we are clear about the relevant differences.

The Escalator Of Reason, By Peter Singer
Excerpted from How Are We to Live Ethics in an Age of Self-Interest (New York, 1995).
http://www.utilitarian.net/singer/by/1995----.htm

Extractions: The Escalator of Reason Peter Singer Excerpted from How Are We to Live? , New York, 1995, pp. 226-235 Reason's capacity to take us where we did not expect to go could also lead to a curious diversion from what one might expect to be the straight line of evolution. We have evolved a capacity to reason because it helps us to survive and reproduce. But if reason is an escalator, then although the first part of the journey may help us to survive and reproduce, we may go further than we needed to go for this purpose alone. We may even end up somewhere that creates tension with other aspects of our nature. In this respect, there may after all be some validity in Kant's picture of tension between our capacity to reason, and what it may lead us to see as the right thing to do, and our more basic desires. We can live with the contradictions only up to a point. Here is an example, from Gunnar Myrdal's "An American Dilemma": The individual ... does not act in moral isolation. He is not left alone to manage his rationalizations as he pleases, without interference from outside. His valuations will, instead, be questioned and disputed.... The feeling of need for logical consistency within the hierarchy of moral valuations and the embarrassed and sometimes distressed feeling that the moral order is shaky - is, in its modern intensity, a rather new phenomenon. Consistent with the idea of taking the point of view of the universe, the major ethical traditions all accept, in some form or other, a version of the golden rule that encourages equal consideration of interests. "Love your neighbor as yourself," said Jesus. "What is hateful to you do not do to your neighbor," says Rabbi Hillel. Confucious summed up his teaching in very similar terms: "What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others." The "Mahabharata," the great Indian epic, says: "Let no man do to another that which would be repugnant to himself." The parallels are striking.

A Meaningful Life, By Peter Singer
Excerpted from Ethics into Action Henry Spira and the Animal Rights Movement (Oxford, 1998)
http://www.utilitarian.net/singer/by/1998----.htm

Extractions: A Meaningful Life Peter Singer Excerpted from Ethics into Action , Oxford, 1998, pp. 192-196 The death of the world's most effective animal rights activist does not rate with that of a drugged-out rock singer. So when Henry Spira died, on September 13, his death passed without notice, apart from a three column obituary in the New York Times . Yet Henry Spira's life tells us something important, not only about the modern animal movement, but about the possibility of an individual making a difference in the modern world. More, it tells us of ways in which, without religion or a belief in a purpose beyond ourselves, we can find meaning in our lives. So what was Henry doing at the class? He had read an article of mine about animal liberation, and realised that it was the logical extension of what he had been doing all his life: helping the downtrodden, the powerless, and the exploited. No being was more ruthlessly exploited than a laboratory rat, or a battery hen. Henry found the classes interesting enough, but when they were over, he wasn't about to stop there. His view was that knowledge isn't something you acquire for its own sake. If you see something that is wrong, you have to think: 'Can I put it right?' At the end of the last session, he stood up and asked people if they wanted to continue to meet, not in order to discuss more philosophy but to see if there was something they could do about it. From one series of experiments on about sixty rabbits, Henry rapidly moved on to bigger targets. He tackled Revlon over their use of rabbits to test cosmetics for potential eye damage, and exerted enough pressure to persuade them to put $750 000 into the search for alternatives. Having seen the public relations disaster that Revlon had narrowly averted, Avon, Bristol-Myers and other major American cosmetics corporations soon followed suit. Though it took ten years for the research to yield the desired results, it is very largely due to Henry's efforts that so many cosmetics corporations can now truthfully state that their products are not tested on animals.
