Prof Peter Singer will give the 10th annual Routledge Lecture in Philosophy entitled:
"The Point of View of the Universe: Defending Sidgwick's Ethics" Friday 26th May at 6pm, Homerton College, Cambridge Abstract: Henry Sidgwick, Knightbridge Professor of Philosophy at Cambridge and the cofounder of Newnham College, is, along with Bentham and Mill, one of the three great nineteenth century utilitarians. Singer's own work in ethics is consistent with his idea that in ethics we should take "the point of view of the universe." In this talk he will explore the implications of taking that stance, and ask how much of Sidgwick's utilitarianism is still defensible today. This is a public lecture and all are welcome, however booking is required.
