Animal Liberation 35 Years On 
|
Peter Singer is one of the world’s great philosophers. His Animal Liberation, published 35 years ago, immediately became a classic book about humanity’s treatment of animals, remains in print worldwide, and continues to be influential in teaching, research and campaigning. In this special lecture, Peter Singer looks at the progress of animal liberation 35 years on, examines changing attitudes to farm animals and animal experimentation in that time, and reflects on the development and future of animal liberation philosophy and action.
