Peter Albert David Singer is a world famous Australian-born Jewish moral philosopher who has, in his career of almost three decades, challenged the traditional ideas of ethics and formed new foundations for a revolutionary applied ethical behavior. He is renowned for giving the animal rights movement all over the world an intellectual and philosophical nudge. He is considered to be a controversial figure in the realm of moral ethics because of his radical thinking like considering human-animal intercourse ethical as long as the animal is not harmed in the process, justifying killing handicapped infants, etc. Such radical thoughts have caused Singer a lot of social stigma and dishonor. Nonetheless, his contribution to the world of applied ethics has been well justified with accolades like, receiving prestigious professorship with Princeton University and being made a Companion of the Order of Australia in 2012. He was on the Time magazine’s 2009 list of “The 100 Most Influential People in the World” and was voted as one of Australia's ten most influential public intellectuals. Singer serves on the advisory board of Academics Stand Against Poverty (ASAP) and on the Advisory Board of Incentives for Global Health, the NGO formed to develop the Health Impact Fund proposal.
