DO Details

Join us as we explore some of the key philosophical criticisms of effective altruism with Professor Peter Singer. 

This is your opportunity to ask one of the leading figures in effective altruism hard questions about the philosophical foundations of the movement. If you'd like to ask Singer a question, please submit it here.

After the Q&A, we will continue the discussion over light refreshments.

Peter Singer is one of the world’s leading moral philosophers and a founder of the effective altruism movement. He is the author of the seminal 1972 essay “Famine, Affluence, and Morality” and two recent books that make the case for effective giving, The Life You Can Save (Random House, 2009) and The Most Good You Can Do (Yale, 2015). Additionally, he has written or edited over 40 books on topics ranging from altruism, bioethics, animal liberation, and the environment.

DO Supports

Effective Altruism is a new and rapidly growing social movement whose goal is to encourage everyone to use the best reason and evidence available to do the most good possible. Founded on the ideas of leading philosophers like Peter Singer, Effective Altruism is concerned with answering questions like how we can encourage people to be more generous in their giving, what charitable causes we should focus on, which careers might be the most high-impact, and how we can improve existing methods for measuring the impact of different charities.
