<p>First of all, I feel stupid, last night I wasn’t thinking straight apparantly, and I typed his name wrong…It is Peter Singer.
Basically, his philosophical beliefs are best defined as “radical utilitarianism” He believes in a horde of insane and impractical things, such as the relative value of murder (where it is better to kill someone very old or very young than to kill someone in between, as the very old and very young (crippled young, that is), are “unworthy” of life, that they do not contribute to society), the equalitiy of animals to people, that taking the west’s income that would be spent upon non-essential goods and giving it to the third world, and many other strange things. Sorry to rant, if you want to read about him in a more coherant manner, here is a website <a href=“http://www.answers.com/peter%20singer[/url]”>http://www.answers.com/peter%20singer</a></p>
