Peter Singer: Preference Utilitarianism Simply Explained! (Abiturwissen)
In this video, I explain Peter Singer's preference utilitarianism! We'll examine the differences and similarities between preference utilitarianism and classical utilitarianism. We'll also examine the principle of equal consideration of interests and the "universal standpoint," which Singer believes is fundamental to any ethical theory. In the following video, we'll take a closer look at Singer's animal and medical ethics, as well as his concept of personhood. I hope you enjoy!
