More recently, Peter Singer has argued that it is unreasonable that we do not give equal consideration to the interests of animals as to those of human beings when we choose the way we are to treat them.

Singer has had a varied career, serving in the armed forces, government, and academia.

Singer has been an advocate of the skeptical stance in the global warming controversy for a number of years.

Singer has worked as a consultant for several government agencies, including the House Select Committee on Space, NASA, the Government Accountability Office, the National Science Foundation, the United States Atomic Energy Commission, National Research Council, the Department of Defense Strategic Defense Initiative, Department of Energy Nuclear Waste Panel, and the Department of the Treasury.

In the private sector he has worked for Mitre Corp., GE, Ford, General Motors ; during the late 1970s Singer consulted with Exxon, Shell, Unocal Sun Oil, and ARCO on oil pricing ; and Lockheed Martin, Martin – Marietta, McDonnell-Douglas, ANSER, and IBM on space research.

Throughout his academic career Singer has written frequently in the mainstream press, including the The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal, often striking up positions that go against mainstream thinking.

The public debates in which Singer has received most criticism have been about second-hand smoke and global warming.

A CBC Fifth Estate documentary in 2006 linked these two debates, naming Singer as a scientist who has acted as a consultant to industry in both areas, either directly or through a public relations firm.

Since a capacity to experience the sensations of suffering or satisfaction is a prerequisite to having any preferences at all, and a fetus, up to around eighteen weeks, says Singer, has no capacity to suffer or feel satisfaction, it is not possible for such a fetus to hold any preferences at all.

Singer has experienced the complexities of some of these questions in his own life.

Essentially Singer claims that although humans possess selfish, competitive tendencies naturally, they have a substantial capacity for cooperation that has also been selected for during human evolution.

Although he has expressed admiration for many of the values promoted by secular humanism, Singer believes it to be incomplete and promotes a preference utilitarian view he calls " personism " instead.

Singer has replied that many people judge him based on secondhand summaries and short quotations taken out of context, not his books or articles.

Singer has stated that threats were made to Adolf Hübner, then the president of the Austrian Ludwig Wittgenstein Society, that the conference would be disrupted if Singer and Meggle were given a platform.

Despite this, Singer argues that it has led to a difficult intellectual climate, with professors not able to teach courses in Germany on applied ethics and campaigns demanding the resignation of professors who invited Singer to speak.

Though Singer focuses more than many philosophers on applied ethical questions, he has also written in depth on foundational issues in meta-ethics, including why one ethical system should be chosen over others.

Singer thinks this going-beyond identifies moral reasons as " somehow universal ", specifically in the injunction to ' love thy neighbor as thyself ', interpreted by him as demanding that one give the same weight to the interests of others as one gives to one's own interests.

Universalisation leads directly to utilitarianism, Singer argues, on the strength of the thought that one's own interests cannot count for more than the interests of others.

As for the Hobbesians, Singer attempts a response in the final chapter of Practical Ethics, arguing that self-interested reasons support adoption of the moral point of view, such as ' the paradox of hedonism ', which counsels that happiness is best found by not looking for it, and the need most people feel to relate to something larger than their own concerns.

One of the notable popularizers of Speciesism is Australian philosopher Peter Singer – who had known Ryder from his own time as a postgraduate philosophy student at Oxford – in his Animal Liberation ( 1975 ).

Singer credited Ryder for having coined the term, and used it in the title of his book's fifth chapter: " Man's Dominion ... a short history of speciesism ," defining it as " a prejudice or attitude of bias in favour of the interests of members of one's own species and against those of members of other species ":

His general fame as a wise and colourful personality has led to his inclusion in narratives as diverse as Mary Renault's historical novel The Praise Singer ( where he is depicted as the narrator and main character ), Plato's Protagoras ( where he is a topic of conversation ), and some verses in Callimachus ' Aetia ( where he is amusingly represented as a ghost complaining about the desecration of his own tomb in Acragas ).
