Peter Singer's 'Animal Liberation' was first published in 1975 and immediately became the founding philosophical manifesto of the animal liberation movement.

Listed by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world, Singer is one of the world's foremost thinkers on ethics and a professor of philosophy at the University of Princeton. His utilitarian standpoint and long career specialising in the field of applied ethics means that he is no stranger to controversy, having written and argued about the ethics of food, globalisation, George W. Bush (with whom he shares a birthday) and secularism.

His most recent book, 'The Life You Can Save', is once again a work of practical ethics urging its readers to engage with the problems of poverty and to ask themselves "What should I be doing to help?"

Join this radical thinker in conversation with Keith Ovenden.
