Peter is a professor of bioethics, with a background in philosophy. He works mostly in practical ethics, and is best known for Animal Liberation and for his writings about global poverty.
Peter is also the founder of The Life You Can Save, an organisation based on his book of the same name that aims to spread his ideas about why we should be doing much more to improve the lives of people living in extreme poverty, and how we can best do this.
